Good work environment with a very good work/life balance Long term employment with good training/learning opportunities Leading products and services to be proud of Fair compensation and benefits

Cons

Telecommunication business is competitive and hectic leading to increasing stress and internal conflicts. There is a general aim for tranparency which basically means that a process is generated for everything making the company less flexible and decision making slower.
