You learn the business and mature as a professional.
They invest in employee growth.
A plethora of career paths. You are marketable when they cut you after 5+ years.
No longer a cradle-to-grave company. Cost control includes cutting the old and backfilling with the young. Since 2015, they've executed an annual purge of 6% or more. They are paralyzing their workforce and creating a culture that encourages mediocrity. Worse, VP level and above are proud of the path they're taking.
AT&T is a great place to cut your teeth. Take advantage of what they're willing to give; however, do not get complacent and think they're invested in you or that they're growing talent.
Be a sponge! Then, after 5-10 years, take that knowledge/experience and go apply it somewhere that truly appreciates its value. If you don't, you'll find yourself lumped into a 6% annual cut for no reason other than a cost avoidance measure.

AT&T Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
Quick, easy, positive. Interviewers were polite and understanding when I mentioned I had class and exams and asked to reschedule. Interviews were at the beginning of the workday or at the end.
Big Data Intern
Total 2 rounds. 1. Recruiter call 2. Coding interview (2 questions) and questions on resume like projects you worked on, areas of interest, can you work in an open culture, etc.
