Pros: Great people, lots of opportunities to learn.

Cons: Work isn't that challenging. FlexForce's goals are in direct conflict with the ambitions of young employees. Pay isn't at market value.

Pros: Huge company, horizontal mobility, good benefits.

Cons: Red tape and bureaucracy due to its size

Pros: The Technology Development program is a decent place to start if you're fresh out of college and have little experience in the professional world. While working within the Technology Development program, you can transition to different clients fairly easily, gaining exposure to different technologies.

Cons: As the title suggests, if you don't intend on working hard or accomplishing much professionally, then AT&T is ideal for you. The ambitious and hard-working need not apply. * Raises are terrible (around 2% per year), and the starting salary is uncompetitive, especially if you're a developer. Even if you're a developer from a great school, you'll get paid roughly the same amount as non-technical people from inferior schools. No matter how hard you work, no matter what you do to set yourself apart, your raises are mostly determined by your seniority in the company. * AT&T oozes with cheapness. As a developer, you'll receive a cheap Windows machine. My office space is dull, uninspiring, and tawdry, with hardly any perks or amenities whatsoever. * The TDP program is too long. Eighteen months is far too long to babysit people. Realistically, you'll only get a minor pay and title bump after those 18 months are up. * Sometimes you go without work for long stretches of time. It is simply unbelievable that developers can sit around with nothing to do.
