Pros

- Good salary and benefits - Depending on your team, you can work on some interesting projects with very talented co-workers (many of which are cross-functional) - As a designer, you work on projects that have a great reach to users - As a designer, you have the capability and are encouraged to become technically adept, which can lead to inventing newly patentable ideas

Cons

- Highly political organizations, which impedes successful endeavors - At times the environment is tense and unpredictable (instability & uncertainty) - As a designer, you often are looped into projects after major technical product decisions have been made, and then are expected to make a poorly architected system somehow usable.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
