AT&T

It's a large company that is well established. You know they aren't going to go under any time soon. So if you're able to find your place within the company, you're good.

It's a giant bureaucracy.

For example, I'm a programmer, and when I started, I was just thrown into an office and didn't even have a computer. So I had to request a computer from the IT team, which took a few days for them to bring it to me.

You'd think this would be enough to get started, but then I realized I didn't have a login. So, despite having a computer, I had to request a login to the network from the IT team, which took an additional few days.

The process of needing something, requesting it, and waiting a few days for it to be brought to you is commonplace. There wasn't really any HR or very much help, other than talking to other co-workers, to speed this process along.

It was difficult to figure out what to do, and the place is so large it was easy to feel unimportant and difficult to find significance within the company.

Make the process of getting started a lot easier. HR to help new employees get started is HUGE.
