Pros

Stable, diverse, short hours, and long-running coworkers (lots of lifers). Some great talent sprinkled throughout the organization keeps ATT relevant in their business.

Cons

Highly political. Posturing and communication are key to success in this bureaucracy. Management is a mixed bag in terms of management skills. There's a massive organizational structure with obsolete coworkers embedded deep within the hierarchy.

Advice to Management

Figure out how to quickly identify talented new hires and connect them with strong mentors and a support system before they get washed away by the poor management scattered throughout the organization.

Otherwise, it's going to be a downward cycle.
