"It's just not the same company anymore."
What do you like about working at AT&T?
"It was a great company when it was still SW Bell, and even under SBC's rule it was OK. As soon as SBC bought out AT&T for their name, though, everything went WAY downhill."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"If you are interviewing for any outside position, be prepared to give your life away; the company expects you to work to live, not have a personal life. They can and WILL FORCE you to work 60+ hours a week at times. If you are looking to work inside, good luck at keeping that job - they are automating everything and downsizing about 80% of their inside employees at this time. As the copper goes away, the outside employees will go through the same reduction in workforce. It's not a place you should expect to retire from."
What don't you like about working at AT&T?
"The upper managers do drugs before most meetings (seriously). Working outside, you are treated like second rate pieces of crap. You bust your butt for the company only to be worried about your job if someone starts a nasty rumor about you or your boss doesn't like you. Management expects you to break their rules all the time, yet fire you if you get caught doing so (i.e. pumping a contaminated manhole, which is against EPA regulations as well as company policy). You call and report it to your boss and he/she won't tell you to pump it. Instead, they'll say we need to get this job done, when the ONLY way to get the job done is to pump the manhole."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Stop lying and doing drugs or else this company will lose all of its true talent and wind up exactly where AT&T was before SBC bought it out: Bankrupt."
"Good place to work. I like this company, but the positions were moved to India."
