Pros

T-Mobile actually was once a really fun company to work for. People were proud to "bleed" magenta. People were lively at work, brought great ideas to the table, and everyone seemed highly engaged. But, this was mainly under the John Legere era. On glassdoor, I recalled he had over a 90% approval rating. Now, take a look at Mike Sieverts. 60% and still sinking. Now, fully merged with Sprint, Mike's best idea is to squeeze out the Bellevue and T-Mobile workers, in favor for Sprint workers, culture, and outdated thinking. It's become a toxic place to work, there is low trust, and morale is extremely low. Meanwhile, Mike seems like he's working hard to mingle with celebrities and become the next Elon Musk for social media attention. And, of course, shipping talent to lower cost of living cities and overseas. Amazing innovation.

Cons

- Low compensation - Little to no culture at this point - Low trust environment - Cost cutting to ship roles to lower cost of living cities and countries - All Sprint leadership now

Pros

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Cons

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
