  • Come to T Mobile. Don’t work on Verizon’s garbage 5g network. Come to the true leader in 5g and work for a company that cares about customers and communities. It’s kind of a special place. I left and came back. 10 years total.

    T mo... no brainer. Perm role, 401k, health benefits. Chances are your at risk would be 70% at a minimum payout otherwise they would lose half their staff. Puts you at 220 plus value of benefits and signing bonus If VZ is so confident in their IoT growth prospects, why are they hiring a contractor? Make them put up or shut up. Fun fact.... vz and tmo own equal market shares with att being the leader.

      VZ almost always hires contractors to start and then decide whether they can convert to FTE. They also have ridiculous bureaucracy to put up with if you're in the wrong org. Idk about the IoT team but i would do Tmo

    Verizon looks better on the resume IMO. But T-Mobile is a permanent role so it might be more beneficial.

      T-Mobile just bought out Sprint. It’s a shit show over there - they are way behind… Verizon will be more structured and organized and is looked at in higher regards than T-Mobile.

    • If Glassdoor reviews mean anything than TMO is the superior company. Also TMO has been the growth leader for 6+ years

    T-Mobile is over staffed & lots of internal politics after Sprint acquisition. They will be shedding lot of staff once the COVID settles. Consider that too.

    T-mobile. Always take a permanent role over a contract one even if it is less pay.

    Make this a poll OP.
