Pluspunten

I worked 6 years there, had 3 diffrent postions with T-Mobile Engineering at FSC (HQ) - Looks good on your resume. - Well-known local high tech company. - Flexible work hours. - Open and casual corporate culture. - Ability to work at home. - Offices located in Bellevue (Factoria area) easy to access from I90 and I405. - Free covered parking. - Cheap employee phone service. - Decent benefits. - Very good vacation package. - Free sodas and coffee.

Minpunten

The Walmart approach to the wireless. - Extremely political. - High stress level is very high at least in T-Mobile Engineering. - Moral is extremely low due to pending sellout. - Poor decision making by lower and upper managment. - No on-call compensation. - Lack of recognition - No raises even to match inflation rate. - Compensation is poor. - Unpaid overtime. - Endless confrence calls. - Most longtime employees left T-Mobile for the competition. - Poor choice of vendors. - Butt-kissing, brown-noser corporate culture. - Totally demoralizing cronyism. - No opportunities for advancement. - Biase in promotion. - Favoritism and bullying - Backstabbing people in HR - Discouraged from getting postions across departments. - Company refers to bring in managers from outside, rather than promote within. Insecure and incompetent managers, focused on their own survival-get rid of anyone who might make them look less experienced or anyone who challenged his/her way. Under qualified engineers, causing poor infrastructure design from beginning and lots re-work during the project. In result poor network and service. Many under qualified workers and who knows how to show off and got promoted. The nepotism I have seen at the hands of the T-Mobile Engineering managers is disgusting and un-American. T-Mobile is abusing H2B/ H1B visa programs to lower its operating costs.

Pluspunten

Training and "green days" to work on training courses online, team activities for teambuilding, excellent benefits including up to a 10% yearly bonus (merit-based), tuition reimbursement, extra insurance options besides health insurance (pet insurance, free life insurance up to 1.5x yearly salary), stock purchase options and yearly stock award to each employee. One of my favorite benefits is job swaps - so long as your manager clears it, you can swap jobs with an employee from another related department for up to a couple months to gain insight and experience into what the other department does from day to day. I left my last company as it had become a bad environment, and after joining with T-Mobile I realized it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There are very few days where I wake up not wanting to go to work, and I learn something new every day. When I come across a process I'm not familiar with, my teammates are more than happy to provide on-the-spot training, or schedule a time that works for both of us to do so. Above all, the managers set you up to succeed rather than to fail - they want you to do well, and do everything in their power to make sure you have the tools to do well.

Minpunten

There's some of the same political bs that any company has, but my team has two excellent managers that make work enjoyable. There are a couple personality issues within the team, as happens with any job, but overall everyone gets along. As far as training goes, there wasn't a whole ton initially (though I believe it's more due to the nature of the job - it's impossible to condense everything into a couple week training course).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this -- we love hearing how much you love coming to work! Your words were spot on when you said your team wants you to "do well". That's exactly what we want for all of our team members! The nature of our business is constantly changing and we know how important it is to provide good benefits and equip you with the training and development you need to be successful. We're glad you're taking full advantage of all of it. As we continue to grow and evolve, so will our training and tools. If you ever feel like you're not getting enough of what you need, though, talk it over with your manager and they'll help you get back on track. Thanks again for your feedback and your dedication to T-Mobile. -- T-Mobile Careers Team
