If you value mental peace & work-life balance, Verizon isn’t ideal. Toxic culture, rigid hierarchy, but decent benefits.

Pros

✔ Stock benefits are good. ✔ Work from Office (WFO) is flexible. ✔ Early increments compared to other companies.

Cons

🔴 As a Senior Software Engineer, I expected a professional and respectful work environment, but unfortunately, there is no peace in the company. 🔴 Even after working on weekends, my manager’s feedback was dismissive, saying "You're dumb, you take your sweet time." 🔴 The worst part is my team lead, who has been with Verizon for 10 years—he treats me like trash and does not respect my contributions. 🔴 Permanent employees look down on vendors, treating them as less than human. The way vendors are treated is highly unprofessional and degrading.

Amazing place to work, Good work life balance, But in Senior positions you might need to work a bit hard but the pay is real good

Cons

Sometimes you have to work during onshore hours, So you might have to work till 11PM at times, But there is no work timings, You can login later in the day

Pros

Verizon is still an industry leader with a lot of opportunities within the company.

The culture has shifted. Positions are being off shored or assigned to contractors. The frequent RIFs are demoralizing FTEs.
