Pluspunten

VZ was the market king in the 2000’s, having the best network and endless supply of customers. As the market became more competitive, the c-suite put its utility company mentality and limitstions on full display in an attempt to rebrand as a tech company. A series of terrible decisions, purchases (Yahoo, anyone), etc sent everything into a tailspin. I was one of the lucky ones to parachute out during the buyout.

Minpunten

The company lost many excellent potential leaders during the buyout because the VP refused to provide opportunity for the next level to move up. She kept all the original leaders and basically, they’d have to die for one of us to get promoted. So we all left. It was a great place to work until it wasn’t.

Pluspunten

Great pay, great benefits. I had the ability to work remotely and hybrid during my 25 years. Had mostly good experiences and appreciate the time I worked there.

Minpunten

Unexpected layoffs, but those are pretty common these days.

Pluspunten

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Minpunten

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
