Pros

For young engineers, you can learn a lot about technology. Barrier for entry in telecom is very high for startups. Therefore, this company will survive with its mediocre management and products, while selling competitor products. If you want to hide and do a 9 to 5 job with good benefits, you can do that here without much trouble. Heck you might even get promoted to a Manager, VP/GM, but you'll have to take your naps in meetings.

Cons

Too much processes, I think even the US GOVT has less processes Team of B Grade management at best. Management likes to keep status quo by not hiring and promoting people that are better and smarter. A players leave and join other Silicon Valley companies. New managers quit within months after realizing change needs getting rid of the whole management structure and dead weight. There are people managers and technical managers and managers of all sorts

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.
