Pros

Culture is diverse, open and not too political at the team level. Plenty of opportunities to advance your specialization or change course

Cons

Short term thinking, especially in the US. Large amount of end of service life IT due to old software/infrastructure from the most recent acquisition (Alcatel Lucent). No real focus on reducing this even though it has been 8 years post acquisition.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
