T-Mobile reviews

The fun and snarky enthusiasm ends at John Legere. Going on nearly 2 years of moving to Agile, but have not gone beyond random pilots and training sessions - Waste. PMO is regressing - Most manager and director positions have been staffed from outside the company or a few insiders who have no PMO experience. Trust does not exist. Leaders are not leading. Honest feedback is viewed as complaints. Transfers out are not allowed unless HR is fully engaged. They are aware morale is at an all-time low, but show no care. One director said working with their leadership is like being in an abusive relationship... Performance reviews have gone away, replaced by a program that HR is not enforcing, resulting in the reviews being based on perception and personality (as one Sr. Manager put it) PMO tools are dated, meaningful metrics are not utilized, instead knee jerk reactions based on zero context are the normal response to issues that happen to catch leaderships attention. Buildings are packed with people. Cubes are being shrunk or doubled up resulting in no parking. It is as if they are trying to force attrition.

Senior management runs T-Mobile like a new, small company. Lots of instabiliity, injustice, and changing of people's status daily. Managers can act arbitrariliy and ruin the careers of the innocent with impunity. People are driven by self interest rather than the common one. Pay is substandard within high-tech. Many days one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at the dysfunctionality all around.
