Pros

On a growth tear - adds millions of new subscribers each quarter. Supporting an increasing scale of customers without any additional increase in headcount is an interesting organizational task.

Cons

Exceptionally political - tensions run high between the network engineering, enterprise IT, and marketing groups. Appeals to authority will win arguments: "Abdul wouldn't like that" will make development project stop dead. In leadership roles getting promoted on the technology side basically requires someone to quit, get fired or die.

Thank you for the feedback—we will definitely be sharing this with our Tech team leaders as this should not be the sentiment our team members are feeling. There is room for advancement across the business with equal opportunity for all. --T-Mobile Careers Team

Leadership Scheduling Work/life balance Stress Broken everything - half of the tools and resources don’t work No room to grow your career anymore unless you suck up. If you’re blunt and honest you’ll be an outcast - they’ve fostered an environment where they only want cheerleaders. Constantly changing goal posts Frequent restructuring
