Smart, dedicated colleagues but poor leadership and layoffs

Senior human resources manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some quality people working at Verizon who are incredibly smart and dedicated to the company's success.

Cons

Senior leaders have steered the ship off course for years and employees are paying the price. Dan Schulman came on as CEO and laid of 13,000 employees without batting an eye, and had only been on the job for a month. He does not care about people, and those who have stayed with Verizon will see that even more over time. He is completely focused on profitability at the expense of humanity.

Great salary, benefits, and work-life balance but heavily bureaucratic and favors long timers

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits above market rate Generally really good work / life balance (few emails sent Friday - Sunday) but if something urgent comes up you have to handle it immediately regardless when it happens.

Cons

Extremely bureaucratic, every decision, even minor, needs to be run by your manager and multiple other people from other functions. When the layoffs come they get rid of all the early tenure people with great energy and ideas for improving the company and protect the long timers who put in the minimum and will never make waves to try to improve anything. No job security, so can't recommend it to a friend/family because they are in a death spiral now that they hired an unqualified Tech Bro to run the company and they'll continue to shrink in market share, revenue, and number of employees. You must be based in a hub location in NY or a specific site in TX to be considered for any kind of career advancement.
