Pros

1.Very friendly Work culture 2. Flexi timing 3. Work Life balance 4. Exposed to latest technologies(for my cases, many others complaining about the old technologies) 5. Good pay when you join

Cons

1.No professional growth 2. Inept HRs 3. No exposure to various business except Verizon specific business 4. After 5 yrs u can become a Verizon Expert but u will not get any other job in the market as u havnt exposed to any other domain apart frm Verizon 5. Not so good projects. All are supporting the mother Verizon (US) products 6. Minimal salary hike (avg 4-6% and no other hikes) 7. No team outing no team lunch..ths is frustrating bcz we have delivered 2 end to end projects still wont get a single team lunch to celebrate ..our onsite mngr wanted to give us pizza treat bcz of financial compliance it cnt be happend.. VDSI sucks!!! 8. No Onsite 9. Google with "VDSI Sick" you can know all the cons.

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.
