From great to crap in a short period of time
From great to crap in a short period of time
Verizon has one of the best medical, vision, and dental plans that I have ever seen. They provide 80 hours of vacation, which rolls over to a maximum of 120-hour cap, 56 hours of personal time, as well as 5 sick days a year. They also have a 10% annual bonus.
First and second tier managers are very laid back and don't micromanage. You have a job and are expected to complete your duties daily.
Teams are happy to work together and provide different viewpoints and expertise to resolve issues.
Verizon has started outsourcing all technical support to India and reducing teams dramatically. Most people still with the company feel that it is only a matter of time before everyone is laid off.
Work/life balance is horrible. It's normal to put in 20-30 hours of overtime a week, which will go completely unnoticed by management.
Once Verizon took over Terremark, the work environment went from highly motivated to extremely low morale in less than a year. Verizon politics ruined the company.
Extremely underpaid for the amount of duties and work assigned. Verizon does not pay market value, or even close.

Phone screening first. They know you don't have experience in something but still ask. The manager is pretty easy-going, though. He seems like a nice guy but needs senior-level people.

There were two parts in the assessment: the behavioral question and the mini-game puzzle. You will be given a total of 30 minutes to do it all, and there are 6 behavioral questions.
