Vantaggi
Verizon has long been a great company to work for. Compensation is competitive, and the benefits package is genuinely strong. Work-life balance has also been one of the biggest positives, especially compared to many other large corporations. The culture has traditionally felt inclusive, and for many years it felt like the company truly cared about its employees and invested in their well-being and growth. I worked with many talented, supportive colleagues and had opportunities to learn and grow throughout my time there.
Svantaggi
The biggest concern is the shift in leadership direction under the new CEO. The company feels far less employee-focused than it once was. There have been significant job cuts that appear driven primarily by cost savings rather than long-term strategy, which has hurt morale and trust. Management also often seems indecisive, with priorities changing frequently and little clear long-term direction. Instead of being proactive and strategic, leadership often feels reactive—responding to problems after they happen rather than anticipating and preventing them. This creates uncertainty and makes it difficult for teams to plan effectively or execute with confidence.
