Pros
  • Not a lot of pressure to perform at a high level; it's easy to coast by.
  • You are allowed to work on side projects and participate in hackathons.
  • The TDP program puts you with other young employees.
  • Opportunity to work remote for certain circumstances.
Cons

Pay is extremely below market rate. AT&T is not going after top talent. This role is best suited as a proving ground for candidates who weren't qualified for more talented dev companies.

Not really a development-focused company. You need to request admin rights to download anything, you can't choose your machine, and there's no access to developer licenses. Projects aren't really innovative; AngularJS 1.5 is the hottest thing in TDP.

Not really millennial-friendly. I hear Dallas is though.

Advice to Management

Stop attempting to save money at every corner and invest in your younger employees. Focusing on training your older employees will only get you so far.
