      Big Brother. These guys are obsessed with collecting metrics and measuring everything you do.

      Pros

      Salary is good if you started a long time ago and worked your way up. 401K is good - match of 80% on the basic 6% contribution (that's better than the 67% from the old AT&T). If you are lucky to find yourself in the AT&T Labs unit, there is still interesting work that does not get outsourced to IBM (like legacy projects) and then end up in India.

      Cons

      These Texans (new SBC management) are some serious bunch of bean counters. It seems as if the only thing that matters to them is process and measuring it. Processes change every 1.5 years. Those are the guys that have job security. They have sucked any kind of creativity and enjoyment completely out of software development. They call us software developers "factory" - it's even in their ridiculous online training. Project Managers are valued - but worked like dogs. Benefits packages are declining every year, but I guess that's the way things are going with all large corporations in this global economy.

      Good for your resume, but this place will frustrate you quickly.

      Pros

      There is an opportunity to make a decent salary and it is a decent place to start a career. Due to the sheer size of AT&T there is an opportunity to learn many different asspects of Telecomunications and General Business.

      Cons

      AT&T has poor management and entirely too many executives. Due to the emense bureaucratic structure a great deal of time is spent in justifying the job or jobs that you intend to do instead of just accomplishing them. If you are a first line manager there is a good chance that you will be given unionized labor. The problem here is the corporate culture has lead to an us vs. them thought process on both sides. This is another source of frustration. HR has been converted to a mostly computer based system and benifits are reduced yearly. Receiving a promotion is very dificult.

      Pros

      The best reasons to work for AT&T are the structure, the pension, and the benefits package. It is nice to get to enjoy the best communications tools, like laptop data cards, teleconference bridges, etc.

      Cons

      Some of the downsides of working at AT&T are no chance for advancement, no recognition for a job well done, little support from management.
