Vantaggi

VZ Business is a good place to work if you are interested in a huge company environment. The company provides good benefits, average to above average salaries, the benefits are decent, the retirement program is decent. I wouldn't say any of them are "best in class", but you could do worse. If it's important to you to work for a company with a #1 or #2 market position in most places where your employer competes, Verizon could be your cup of tea. There is safety in numbers here - if you are worried about layoffs, they have a lot of wood to chop and you could last a long time before your number gets called.

Svantaggi

Things don't move very fast, and the management at the top doesn't seem to have a good ear to the ground to understand what the frontline employees and or the customers are saying. The biggest customers (former Global or Premier accounts) really steer the ship and product development. If you aren't working with those customers, don't expect products that can be tailored to your customers needs. Verizon does what it does pretty well, but sometimes tries to force the sales reps to sell things outside our specialties, essentially begging and/or ramming it down the customer's throat to get them to try buying from VZB.

Vantaggi

The sheer volume of data, infrastructure, and budget allows you to build and run initiatives that you simply cannot replicate at smaller companies. While being here, we have had to solve complex, high-impact problems with strong results, the resources are absolutely here. The frontline teams and mid-level leaders (at least mine) are deeply knowledgeable technical experts who genuinely care about protecting and enabling the business. Leading people of this caliber makes cascading a vision highly rewarding, as the execution capability is top-tier. We are always striving to make the company better without compromising integrity.

Svantaggi

Moving large initiatives or projects through a matrixed organization like Verizon requires an exhausting amount of red tape - no matter how much they want to claim otherwise. Decisions that should take days can take weeks or months due to the endless layers of alignment and stakeholder sign-offs required. This is further complicated as the company undergoes regular structural shifts, reorgs, and "strategy pivots". As a leader, a significant portion of your energy will be spent managing team fatigue and keeping folks steady through constant organizational "evolutions."

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
