AT&T

Very good benefits that appear to be remaining steady and competitive with other technology companies. Continuing education gets a lot of emphasis, and there are ample opportunities to gain new degrees and certifications with corporate sponsorship or reimbursement.

In the right position, you will be exposed to bleeding-edge technology on a daily basis. It's fulfilling to see how your work has a direct, positive impact on people around the world. You get to work with amazingly smart people and even more amazing technologies.

After establishing yourself and building a strong peer network, you are usually given more latitude in how you can manage your time. This is not true for all positions, but in the Engineering/IT/Dev based areas, you are gauged mostly on performance. Most managers work to ensure you have a clear path to do your job and are generally very flexible with scheduling issues.

AT&T is a very large company, and at times it can be easy to feel lost in the shuffle. There are so many important activities going on that you may sometimes feel like you are under-appreciated.

Keep up the good work in transforming the workplace to a more modern aesthetic. Don't forget to push employee recognition to ensure top performers are feeling appreciated.
