AT&T

AT&T finally has a pretty good work-from-home policy. I've been working from home off and on for 9 years, but it only recently became officially sanctioned.

There are some good people in the company, and some good groups, but you'll have to be particular about who you go to work for and vet them pretty seriously.

Benefits have been chipped away at for a decade, and they're really bad now. Medical has huge deductibles, and out-of-network benefits are terrible.

Office environment is dreary and lacks even basics like filtered water or cheap drip coffee. Your vacation builds very slowly.

Lots of bureaucracy in the company. Lots of groups working to defend their turf rather than drive forward. It's hard to navigate the massive bureaucracy to get anything done or even get access to what you need to accomplish your job.

I understand earnings are important, but management is so desperate to meet every quarter that they'll cut the knees out from under the business to avoid missing short-term earnings by a penny. Creating a dismal work environment, cutting benefits until they're horrible, and driving away the best employees will compromise your long-term earnings, which factor into stock price a lot more than short-term squiggles. You're missing the forest for the trees here.
