Business Outlook

Pros

The company had excellent benefits and generous time off policy. Encouraged employees to come up with better ways to do things. Nice to have your boss actually listen to and implement your ideas.

Cons

Moved most manufacturing out of the United States. Unless you are willing to travel to Mexico or China, not many job opportunities left in Texas.

Lots of opportunity to go above and beyond - but is it necessary?

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good salary and benefits - Highly technical work - Limited constraints on getting work done - ability to do what's right and needed - Work / life balance affected by customer issues (cyclical), not bad management - no complaints - Very diverse group - in most meetings no one person is from the same country

Cons

- "yes men". We give our customers everything they ask for, then wonder why the bottom line is in the red. - Similar to above, we probably provide the most hand-holding support to a customer of any vendor. This is a cause of high employee stress. - Many internal groups simply ignore work, even their own. If you own the response/solution, it's up to you to find another avenue to get it. No accountability for people or entire teams not pulling their weight. - ATT buyout of TMO US, rumors of Nokia and Siemens ending their partnerhsip, and upper management departures are causing concerns about the future.
