      Satisfied, but less than years before.

      Pros

      Well respected corporation within the telecommunications industry with ample opportunities to move among various jobs. Benefits, including employee concessions are quite competitive. As AT&T (under previous names, and originally SW Bell Telephone when I started) has been my only employer, I am not aware of the level of benefits at other companies.

      Cons

      Too much politics when decisions are made, instead of being made on actual merit of the information. The process of managing projects carries too much overhead for the amount of true work that needs to be done. The 'good ole boys' club is strong across significant areas of Information Technology.

      Pros

      I had freedom to learn new things. The management is open and encourages to let developers to explore new technology. If you are a geek person, try to enter the elite architecture team in AT&T lab, where you experiment all the products such as Spring, Hibernate, SOA and etc.

      Cons

      Job is no longer stable and entry level employees suffer a low salary. It all began in 2003. After AT&T outsourced many projects to oversea development center, management focused on slashing costs. The new initiative goes like this, a project is a software that has a 5-year shelf-life, so we should produce it cheaply and rewrite another version 60 months later. A valid point but wrong approach. Outsource doesn't necessarily lower the cost. Managed wisely, a team of 10 dev and 1 proj mgr in US can be as productive and cost efficient as 30 dev in Bombay or Shanghai and 4 proj mgr spreading around the globe.
