Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"It largely depends upon in what area of the company they are potentially going to work as it is a very large organization. If it were for a position in sales/service, I would advise they drill down to specifics as to what account(s) they would be assigned, support provided, etc."

What don't you like about working at Verizon Wireless?

"I dislike instability - there are sweeping changes taking place with their service model and no one feels secure. They created a new position last year (service program manager) and already, some of them have been laid off. They are opting for a fee for service philosophy, which for very large enterprise accounts, is likely to be unpalatable."

What suggestions do you have for management?
