Pros
- Solid pay in particular for Sr Director and up due to the LTIP - WFH - good benefits such as DIRECTV service free
Kontras
- terrible leadership and no idea how they got there. C-suite and SVP levels in particular - terrible favoritism leads to unqualified individuals moving up with ease while skilled talent other firms would actually want are unable to move upwards. Yep the guy with a PhD 3 levels below a college drop out is a hit on credibility. - nonstop reorganizing, shifting business model and of course layoffs - a lot of people in “extended leadership” roles have no experience, skill or knowledge in areas they oversee. Imagine a sales rep leading data analytics, former chiefs of staff overseeing product strategy and project managers everywhere - The ATT model was to find people you like and have them hire a vendor to do the work while they manage (aka push). A lot of the longer tenured employees are accustomed to getting away with not knowing anything and being rewarded for it
