Pros

I learned a decent amount and was exposed to a lot of telecom tech.

Cons

Good luck trying to get anything done; you will be buried in bureaucracy and process.

Upper management does not care about solving actual problems. They just want to build "solutions" to cover up existing problems instead of trying to solve them.

No regard for engineering quality or standards; they'll hire anybody off the street.

Advice to Management

Fix fundamental issues in your business and stop adding unnecessary solutions that just confuse customers.

Listen to your engineers, at least the smart ones that develop and solve problems. They know how to solve problems; management does not know how to solve problems.
