Pros

T-Mobile is a company where decisions are typically made for the correct reasons; if ideas can be demonstrated to be good, they are pursued. If ideas can be demonstrated to be bad, they are not pursued. The challenge, of course, is getting this information to decision-makers through all the layers of upper management; but when presented information, virtually all senior leadership acts logically and rationally, without pursuing personal agendas.

Cons

In many ways, the company's values are used as a crutch to perpetuate incompetence. Cronyism is a real problem in some parts of the company, and some of the entrenched leadership protects its position by pushing more competent people out of the company before those people can become threats - under the guise of maintaining and protecting the company's values.

Pros

The scale of T-Mobile means that there is a large engineering group for the wireless systems. And, the IT group is very large, and many projects that needs components from both sides. So, that means large, complex, and challenging technology and projects.

Cons

Staff treated poorly by management, and significantly overworked in the technical and IT areas. Tactical, reactionary decisions. Projects are date-driven, without regard for the technical and resource limitations. Projects would get into trouble because of poor prioritization and unrealistic expectations, then the PM would get thrown under the bus. Revolving door of contract resources led to the feeling of instability.

Pros

The company overall has good policies, they believe in work life balance and flexible schedules. The company as a whole does a good job recognizing strong performers and it seems that there are many opportunities for advancement especially when you start in an entry level position either with Customer service or Engineering

Cons

Not all managers apply company policy the same way. It's very much dependent upon your direct manager how good it is as a place to work. The company has a very high turnover rate so it's not uncommon to be in a meeting with 3 months on the job and be the most senior person in the room.
