Pros

Great pay for no work. Hire a couple of contractors and get them to do all the work. The executive senior management is very focused but the Middle level managers are leftovers from the wireline business. THe middle level management has no clue on what needs to be done in terms of execution. There are a lot of people who should have been laid off or re-assigned years ago. Folks that work are motivated but are not generally given challenging assigments. Most of them are highly educated doing rudimentary jobs.Contractor pay is great and some of them make 250,000 a year running lame tests.

Cons

No work can be boring. Pay rises can be stagnant. Better to leave and come back as contractor.

Pros

Well respected corporation within the telecommunications industry with ample opportunities to move among various jobs. Benefits, including employee concessions are quite competitive. As AT&T (under previous names, and originally SW Bell Telephone when I started) has been my only employer, I am not aware of the level of benefits at other companies.

Cons

Too much politics when decisions are made, instead of being made on actual merit of the information. The process of managing projects carries too much overhead for the amount of true work that needs to be done. The 'good ole boys' club is strong across significant areas of Information Technology.
