Pros

Scale and scope can be unmatched.

Great benefits/compensation package.

Opportunity to grow skill sets via tuition reimbursement and nano degrees.

Almost every technical discipline is represented.

Cons

Areas of the company are downsizing. Leadership can be uneven.

Advice to Management

AT&T seems susceptible to Shiny Squirrel Syndrome... its eye being caught by every shiny object that comes along.

ATT Cloud, ECOMP, Network Cloud, Public Cloud, 5G, Media, Advertising, Big Data, etc. An initiative takes years to deploy. Changing every 1-2 years is exhausting. Pick one. Focus the company on it. Complete it. Move on to the next one.
