Pros

Flexible work hours, great compensation, stability, and never have to tell what your company does. Awesome place to work. Overall, good people to work with. If you are a positive person, you will always look forward to coming to work.

Cons

Verizon is a very large organization, and it has all the cons that naturally exist in humongous organizations. That doesn't mean it's a bad place to work, but you have to face different kinds of challenges. Growth opportunities are limited, and you have to face very tough competition if you plan to grow above the Manager position. The Director position is greatly scrutinized, and you have to be either extremely lucky (get aligned by chance to a vacating position) or be able to fly without wings to get a new one created for you.

Advice to Management

The offshore org structure needs to be changed. It's unnatural and will never work. Offshore resources need to report to accountable onsite managers. The current org structure has created parallel, competing, and counterproductive organizations.
