Pros

I spent a year with the CSBEST team as a front end developer in ASP.NET after a summer internship the previous year. I found the group to be great supporters of my new entry into IT as a career.

Cons

As a large corporation, adapting newer software systems and IDE's can take a long time. Not a real problem unless you only want to work on the latest and greatest, then just be sure to check you positions tech specs.

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.
