      Pros

      *In the CTO organization there are very intelligent people with many years of knowledge in telecom. *Competitive salary *Depending on your manager, work-life balance can really be great; especially with the ability to work remotely since so many colleagues on your team can be spread across the globe.

      Cons

      *Big company bureaucracy, way too many processes and procedures, too much hierarchy *Entrenched old school thinking and resistance to change- way too many employees have been at this company since before I was born. Subsequently there is resistance to innovation and risk-taking. Also, possibly due to the background of most people in management, MBAs are not valued very much. *Most employee decisions are so buffered from impacting the company's bottom line, that it creates a comfort for business-as-usual. *Failure is not accepted and leveraged.

      Pros

      Honestly, AT&T is a solid place to work. Good pay, good benefits, plenty of locations to move from, the ability to work as a telecommuter (work from home through VPN), and really the general attitude of the company is a happy one. I do not see too many "sad" people at work...and I certainly do not see too many stressed people either. The company is somewhat "soft" on it's employees (no required get togethers, show up when you want, do your work whenever you want, etc...) Also, extremely flexible hours, quick onboarding, alot of time for family and friends outside of work due to the flexible hours. -Tons of really cool training on technologies available to us. Mobile communication training is extremely interesting, as is the wireline side of the business.

      Cons

      As an employee in my 20s, this is certainly not the place for me. Because of telecommuting, the office is extremely lonely. Not very many young people. No company get togethers, not much of a team atmosphere. I have not made one real "friend" in my 1 year of being here. Also, I sometimes have barely any work to do...so I waste my day and feel unproductive afterwards. I absolutely despise my cubicle and the extremely lame people that surround it. I also believe the nature of my job has caused me slight depression. Again, this might be more of a problem with myself. Like mentioned in the pros section, if you want a good paying job with a ton of extra time outside of work, AT&T is a great place to work. However, if you are the type of person who defines yourself by the work you do, and likes to make friends over the course of a career, AT&T is quite possibly the worst company to work for. The empty offices, dark lighting in COs (buildings with telecommunications equipment), and telecommuting make the work environment feel very unperson able. Do not spend your 20s working here...or even your 30s. Take a job with AT&T if you are in it for the money and benefits, and flexible hours. Not if you want to grow as a person.
