Pros

AT&T is a large company with many areas and a reasonable policy for movement within the company.

AT&T's compensation and benefits are on par with other companies. The time off policy is good. There are some very professional, talented, and skilled co-workers and leaders/management.

Cons

AT&T is reluctant to embrace telecommuting. It manages by the masses, rather than removing dead weight. More and more outsourcing all the time. Ultimately, many decisions seem to be made by legal rather than leadership. Lower and Middle management is pretty inconsistent in quality, policy.

Advice to Management

Empower, delegate down. Look for "yes men" and either ignore or get rid of them.
