Pros

tech heavy work culture, laid back Euro style work environment. NA headquarters in Plano are awesome. if you want to learn core telecom tech skills its great, but company is siloed, so cross domain work can be hard to find.

Cons

Upper Management is all about over priced cut and run consultants with fancy MBA's and no inkling about the industry.
