Pros

Other employees are nice and incredibly helpful. Mentorship at this company is awesome. Lots of opportunities to grow your career and network in the development programs. Some leaders are working hard to move the company away from bureaucratic culture and toward a startup-feeling culture. Good work/life balance if you're in tech or engineering.

Cons

Mixed messaging on work from home. Touted how productive we were working from home, now is forcing people back into office 3-4 days per week despite job function not requiring it. Heavily political rather than productive, especially if you are in any kind of project manager or supervisor role. While parts of the company are trying to have a startup culture, it's mostly slow and bogged down in processes because of how tall the leadership structure is. Certain teams aside, the company isn't very innovative. They've been trying to reduce headcount for years and are trying to push out their older employees. Is laying off employees in core parts of the business without very good justification. Leaders change every 2 years and don't understand the technology very well, resulting in many of them cutting costs without understanding what they're doing.

Pros

You meet some great, hard-working people who put in a lot of overtime and effort to do a good job.

Cons

There are some toxic people that AT&T will keep around because they think these people are moving the needle, which is far from the truth. There have been things that managers and HR has let slide, which to me, is only harnessing the bad behavior. There's not a lot of room for growth unless you are really brown-nosing your manager. It's disgusting and not the environment I wanted to be in any longer.
