AT&T offers extensive opportunities for growth in numerous fields of knowledge. Their training program is very comprehensive, thoroughly preparing one for the job they are about to undertake.
Because AT&T has locations all over the United States as well as other countries, a willingness to relocate offers even more options. Mentoring programs are available within the company, along with the expectation of managers to work on the growth of their direct reports.
AT&T offers excellent benefits, including:
AT&T is currently on a path to a more technical world, so high-tech knowledge will be of more value in the coming years than will soft skills. To be a success in the years to come, the most important skill levels to possess will be in sales or high tech.
Ensure that those who manage are well versed in the skills they manage. Some managers feel that the ability to manage people is all that is necessary; that knowing how to do the job is not that important. It has been my experience that employees have more respect for managers who know the job, understand the work, and respect the efforts of their people.
The interview process was standard. The first interview was over the phone. The second interview was at the AT&T facility with a local employee and a manager based out of state. Basic technology questions. Nothing too complicated.
The first round was technical. They asked about my skills and what I was doing post-completion. After that, there was a Skype call. In this Skype call, a code part was given to me, and I answered everything.
It took a very long time, but the hiring managers were very nice. First, I applied online. Then, it took about two months for them to get back to me. I then had three phone screens: the first was behavioral, and the next two were background checks.
