AT&T reviews

Conformance to standards within IT

As a large company, AT&T functions much like a governemnt, there is a lot of beurocracy and limited movement within the company. Unless you are well connected with the higher-ups, it is difficult to change postions. I was there for 7 years and had the same job for 6 of those years. I was recruited by other departments, from the first year on and was only finally released to a different department after 6 years. Some of the lower level management has had no management training whatsoever. This is frustrating and results in employees being treated unfairly, inappropriately and/or getting incorrect advice. It also results in employees not getting developed by management, as lower level managers want thier good employees to stay put, and not grow into different positions & opportunities.
