Pros: Good benefits, flexible working hours, decent salaries/bonuses for old-timers.

Cons: Too much bureaucracy, newer hires underpaid, shrinking DIRECTV unit.

Pros: You get to work at a top-tier company on major features.

Cons: - Ever since ATT took over, the department has suffered. - Constant department reorganizations have driven out experienced and knowledgeable staff and management. - Drastic change decisions are made overnight and then revoked a few weeks later due to lack of vision and poor execution. - Job descriptions change but no formal training is provided. - Low morale across teams. - Management and mentorship are non-existent. Some people work hard, working on 2-3 projects, while others do nothing without repercussions. - There is no room for mobility or growth; it's a dead-end department. - There is constant concern about the department being cut and layoffs across most of the software engineering teams.

Pros: Good coworkers, atmosphere, and environment.

Cons: No, no, no, no, no.
