Pros

Works on cutting-edge technology.

Always tries to be number one in telecommunication.

Cons

Old practices; cannot think out of the box for strategies; too slow in adopting newer technologies; horrible upper management. Tons of directors, tons of VPs, and too heavy executive management. A drop in stock is common at this company. The key is to sell all your ESPP and RSUs on the day they are assigned. Otherwise, you will get only tears.

Advice to Management

Please retire! Please, please, please.
