Pros

AT&T is a great place to get experience working in various technologies. The company is supportive of people moving from position to position, so you can face new challenges every few years relatively easily.

Cons

To get ahead, it always seemed like you had to work 16 hour days for years and years. I never saw an example of people who got promoted working any kind of "normal" or even semi-normal hours. There is also just a problem of size. The company is 300K plus, with most of the positions in the bargained-for workforce. That means the company can't do anything quickly. That fundamental obstacle to change becomes an excuse to be slow even when there are no real barriers to faster change.

Pros

The AT&T name and position as market leader gives you unparalleled access to customers. This removes one of the largest roadblocks in sales…getting in front of the customer. I truly believe the products and services AT&T offers are the best in the industry.

Cons

The constant change at AT&T has resulted in a lot of internal confusion between departments. The increased pressure to cut costs and grow revenue results in less support and higher expectations every year. Sooner or later something has to give. There is only so much productivity you can squeeze out of people before you are going to see diminishing returns.
