Pros

In general, the pay at Verizon is fairly good, however bonus payouts have been trending down.

Cons

The wireline side of the company has been in a seemingly endless cycle of headcount reductions over the past 6-7 years. Opportunities for advancement are practically non-existent.

Pros

Less work pressure compared to other service companies. No bench. Everyone is on a project. Flexible work timings. Dress Code for namesake. Lots of holidays. Online resources for training. Free Evening Snacks.

Cons

Mediocre training to freshers. Just for namesake. Learning is only on the job. Less domain knowledge. Though Verizon is a telecommunication company, most of the work done is just end user level application maintenance. Not core telecom work involving protocols, etc. Very little process knowledge. Though the company claims to be a CMMI Level 5 organization, processes are not followed in many projects. Almost Zero onsite opportunities. Single digit Salary hike on promotion. Constant security crap. 1.) Random bag checks at entrance. 2.) Random check for camera mobile even at the floor entrance. 3.) No access even to the source repository. We send e-mails around to merge our source code changes.

Pros

Flexibility to telecommute Products people recognize Some of the people are great people but not all of them. It takes time to identify the good apples but once you do you can get great work done.

Cons

Not ideal for rising talent. Verizon values outside talent for key strategic roles and does not cultive homegrown talent effectively. Its difficult to climb the ranks quickly within the company.
