Pros

The people are awesome - hard working team players. The brand in the industry is top notch - pride of employment. The benefits package and non-compensation perks are great.

Cons

Leadership is hyper-competitive and arrogant about our capability. There is culture of over-working that is incongruent with work-life balance initatives. and over-worked culture.

Pros

Diversity of opportunity and exciting to see how technology evolves and changes. Of course, the people are by and large really amazing. There is a lot of programs that support people's community giving.

Cons

It's a massive company and although that means a lot of opportuity to move around etc. it also means a certain amount of inertia and inability to own the outcomes of your work. Too, there is a certain lack of fairness in terms of pay increases especially for those of us in Calgary who have experienced double digit growth in cost of living with no blanket raise.

Pros

If you're in IT, there's lots of different areas that deal with lots of different kinds of technologies that you wouldn't see at a small company. There's also decent opportunity for advancement, if you're a go-getter (and a bit patient).

Cons

Opportunities for advancement are pretty much only available if you go after them and know the right people. HR is a mess. TELUS is not the kind of place where you can just do a good job with your current position and get promoted. The other catch is that the only way to get a real raise with TELUS is to switch jobs within the company, so in order to advance you need to be a go-getter but you also need to be willing to move around a fair bit. This is not necessary a bad thing for everyone - depends on the kind of person you are.
