T-Mobile culture
Hi, am interviewing with T-Mobile’s inflight group. Can anyone shed light on what the culture is like on that team? TIA TC: 🥜 #product #pm #productmanager
Shitty culture. People are underpaid, overworked (depending on the group), management doesn’t care about employees. It’s just depressing at T-Mobile. If it’s your only job offer and you need something take it but if you have other options pick something else.
This. Even if you get promotion it’s only 5% increase on your base.
lol. Amdocs has more control than FTEs. So much politics. Leadership trusts and is sold on Amdocs Adobe and Salesforce. As an employee it seems to be a losing battle. Good luck.
In one line - full of politics and very toxic culture. Stay away.
Agree with all of the above. I don’t know anyone who is happy at T-Mobile, especially after they gutted 25% of corporate employees in Aug/Sept. Compensation is such that you must be a Director+ to afford to live comfortably in HCOL areas
If you asked me 3 or 4 years ago, I'd say the culture is org dependent but the WLB is fairly good. Everything I'm going to write is coming from someone who up until a year ago would have shrugged and said "It's fine". It's absolutely wild how much has changed since I joined. In 2023 the culture sucks and almost everyone I work with has a foot out the door. The only people who don't are those who are older and clinging on for dear life while they try to squeeze out whatever they can before they retire, (these are people with no transferrable skills outside TMO/telecom because they have done the same thing for 30yrs). Nobody is happy with how the merger went down a few years after the fact and we've had several rounds of layoffs. The last round was indiscriminate - my manager and her boss straight up didn't know if they would be around. Restructuring has been absolute chaos and doesn't seem to have a rhyme or reason to it. No one has faith in the leadership team. The company has more cash and is worth more than ever, yet as engineers, we are being asked to do more with far less than we've had. Nobody is innovating. No one cares. They pay under market rate. If you have no other prospects, you'll likely be fine here, but only use it as a stopgap.
I completely agree with everything you’re saying. I don’t know a single person who isn’t seriously looking. Most are waiting until their bonus hits their account and their RSUs vest since it’s so close to February. Short term to hold over TMO isn’t a bad place but it has a way of making people complacent and that can torpedo your career if you aren’t constantly gaining new skills or asking for more projects.
Enough has been said about the bads of TM. As someone who just started in August, what I can tell you is that I’m on a team of very smart people (leadership, engineers, really everyone) and I enjoy coming to work every day. My biggest challenges are what TM corporate IT and security throw our way at unexpected times with sometimes unrealistic deadlines. There are teams doing innovative shit at TM, but it doesn’t seem to be on their mobile side. You can DM me if you want extra details about what org and team I’m in, but I’m not in the group you’re interviewing for.
Why leave Crowdstrike? You're downgrading your resume coming to T-Mobile.
