Pros

AT&T is an excellent company. They are focused on providing a world class experience for their customers. They value their employees and they express that value through good wages, excellent benefits, and an excellent working environment. They have a tremendous network and infrastructure and continue to invest heavily in both areas to ensure that they stay ahead of the curve. Lastly, they are extremely profitable and stable.

Cons

Not many... about the only thing that comes to mind is that you are somewhat limited as a leader regarding flexibility in rewards and recognition. However, it is the same challenge that you are going to encounter with most major corporations.

Pros

I am excited to be at AT&T. The company has undergone a period of extraordinary preparation for the next phase of its evolution. The merger with SBC and the acquisitions of Bellsouth and Cingular provide the scale necessary for innovation. Innovation is well underway in wireless with the iPhone and IP based TV via the Uverse offering. Both are spectacular. On the enterprise side AT&T has moved significantly away from a provider of "dumb pipes" by adding some exceptional ntelligence inside the global network. From a career standpoint, It is advantageous to be at a company that is re-inventing itself as profoundly and confidently as AT&T. Watch AT&T closely over the next several years and you might be amazed. I find very talented people wanting to come to AT&T, a position they would not have considered just a few years ago.

Cons

Few companies have re-invented themselves at the macro level this fast, so some things are not perfect . . . . yet. Some might argue that internal politics still plays a dominant role. I view that, not as internal politics, but as strong executive relationships. Any company of this size has many systems that need to work together better. However, I have seen the company react positively and nimbally in this area.

Pros

Fast moving, constant learning, and many good people. Leadership has worked hard to make the company successful during a tough time in telecommunications. Job opportunities are available across the country if you are flexible. Great Benefits. The company has so many training tools available from which you can take advantage if you have the intiative and can fit them in. There is always something new to learn on the job.

Cons

Some managers have bad attitudes and I have no idea why they stay. There aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. Often socializing and networking is difficult to fit in to regular business hours.
