Pros

The employee 100% paid benefits were excellent and salaries were above standard in most departments. The new company should be viable, since TMobile is five times bigger.

Cons

Since it is always lean on staff, there are few places or chances for upward mobility. The hiring should be sparse for both Metro and TMobile for the next 6 months, while they figure out who to lay off and who to keep.

Pros

Very dynamic and open work environment. Upward mobility is unhindered and fast when you work hard and show results.

Cons

Relocation to regional or corporate headquarters is required for upward mobility once certain levels have been achieved. The company's unstable future can change its working environment.

Pros

I worked 6 years there, had 3 diffrent postions with T-Mobile Engineering at FSC (HQ) - Looks good on your resume. - Well-known local high tech company. - Flexible work hours. - Open and casual corporate culture. - Ability to work at home. - Offices located in Bellevue (Factoria area) easy to access from I90 and I405. - Free covered parking. - Cheap employee phone service. - Decent benefits. - Very good vacation package. - Free sodas and coffee.

Cons

The Walmart approach to the wireless. - Extremely political. - High stress level is very high at least in T-Mobile Engineering. - Moral is extremely low due to pending sellout. - Poor decision making by lower and upper managment. - No on-call compensation. - Lack of recognition - No raises even to match inflation rate. - Compensation is poor. - Unpaid overtime. - Endless confrence calls. - Most longtime employees left T-Mobile for the competition. - Poor choice of vendors. - Butt-kissing, brown-noser corporate culture. - Totally demoralizing cronyism. - No opportunities for advancement. - Biase in promotion. - Favoritism and bullying - Backstabbing people in HR - Discouraged from getting postions across departments. - Company refers to bring in managers from outside, rather than promote within. Insecure and incompetent managers, focused on their own survival-get rid of anyone who might make them look less experienced or anyone who challenged his/her way. Under qualified engineers, causing poor infrastructure design from beginning and lots re-work during the project. In result poor network and service. Many under qualified workers and who knows how to show off and got promoted. The nepotism I have seen at the hands of the T-Mobile Engineering managers is disgusting and un-American. T-Mobile is abusing H2B/ H1B visa programs to lower its operating costs.
