Tech Strong, Toxic Management
Tech Strong, Toxic Management
The computer systems and overall technical efficiency at this division of AT&T are impressive. They are on top of the cyber-security game.
In this office, you have two older white males running everything. There is no HR department. These guys have zero communication skills, personal grandiosity, and overall bad practices when it comes to hiring and resolving issues.
If there are rules that need to be followed, you will find out when you break them. No comradery, no conversation really. Uptight, quiet 1984 environment. Almost all male.
In subsequent job interviews, other IT professionals commented to me on the toxic environment at AT&T Security without knowing of my experience at all. This place has a reputation. I still feel sick to my stomach remembering it.
Take hiring decisions away from IT security managers. They have no idea what they are doing, and you are exposing AT&T to litigation.

First, there was a coding challenge that was easy. Then, a phone screening that was behavioral and not too bad. Finally, there was a technical interview where they asked two relatively simple questions.

Initial phone interview with a company rep. Very laid back, and the rep seemed generally interested in what I had to say. Technical in the sense that they asked about projects on my resume, but there were no very technical questions.
