AT&T reviews

Was fine before RTO initiative but they’ve performed a complete 180, forcing people to relocate to keep their jobs (Dallas). Going from being a company focused on productivity (did you get your tasks completed on time etc) to a company obsessed with you sitting in the right place 3-5 days a week and tracking. Many talented people let go because they didn’t live in the right place or weren’t scanning their badge an arbitrary number of times a day. Offices are bad, dirty, no assigned seating, people fight over seats, you get to the office no where to sit end up in a hallway. No real amenities at offices. Everyone still just meets on teams, people are just going in to get the badge swipe. Upward mobility is low, you’ll reach a certain level and get forgotten about unless you play politics hard to the point that the job becomes more about politics than the actual work. Hard work and going ‘above and beyond’ isn’t rewarded, constant budget cuts, constant layoffs. Management is clueless and somehow believes all of this chaos will create a better end product, or they don’t care and are just chasing short-term stock gains. Avoid, at least until Stankey is gone.

Clueless, incompetent management. Bought other companies left, right, center during last decade. New management sold pretty much everything that was bought (DirecTV, Warner Bros) as they had no competence to run those businesses. New management's cloud direction isn't going well as well and data center closure decision is perhaps coming back to bite them. So, now they are closing pretty much all office locations across the nation except 5 "hubs" in the name of return to office. Talk about irony, company that sells VPN, internet and phones products that are supposed to prove remote working, connecting people geographically away from each other, closing all offices across the country and forcing them to move along with their families to these 5 "hubs".
