Pros

1.Definately comptative pay in industry (if stocks together program available) 2.A lot of learning scope

Cons

1. Poor Work-Life Balance: Burnout-level expectations resulting from increased responsibilities and the 24/7 support model. 2. Strategic Instability: Prolonged organizational uncertainty following the appointment of the new CEO. 3. Compensation Ambiguity: Lack of transparency and updates regarding the current year's stock program. 4. Imbalanced Restructuring: Disproportionate layoffs within the CSG portfolio, targeting Individual Contributors (Levels I through Principle) while management remained unaffected. 5. Lack of Transparency: Absence of clear criteria or documented reasoning for personnel reductions. 6. Unsustainable Resource Ratios: Significant workload increases following team size reductions of over 50%. 7. Operational Scope Creep: Absence of onshore support forcing offshore BE/FE developers into 24/7 DevOps and SRE responsibilities. 8. Regressive Management Culture: Shift toward a "top-down" environment where following instructions is prioritized over technical input to avoid layoff risks.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
