Pros

attractive salary, not the only thing that matters.

Cons

Liars: from the beginning of interviews, they're lying about lifecycle development and overall company's processes . They're Lying about benefits, they told about a lot of benefits, but they stacked somewhere and you have to fight for something they told as a company's trend. CEO has no idea about the software house processes, the worst thing is that is not willing to learn at all about it, so brings the same quality employees as he is, he is lying at every word, first time in my life i meet such a person. HR department is not answering in emails, they didn't care about you, if you suggest about what they have to improve, you are a black sheep for them. Fake awards included in their menu. Racism/Sexism: Employees still have a mentality of 70's , company is advertising a diversity friendly mentality, but they have to improve and teach current employees firstly, their subsidiary company Vodafone Innovus mostly. Knowledge: they have not any knowledge that can use for the company'e sustainability, either technically or business, the worst thing is that they aren't willing to improve themselves . Sales: the sales department, low quality employees and ruid persons, they don't care about the development department, they sell anything the customer want's without any process. * arbitrary decisions from CEO are the "best seller" in their menu. ** worst environment for developers, for your mental health & self improvement, stay away.

Pros

Turning up to work everyday for Vodafone is a great feeling You feel you can do almost anything People friendly and helpful

Cons

Political nightmare between Networks & IT departments Senior Management unbelievably useless, and bullyish Pay and bonus is a joke if you are under senior management, (Snr mgmt, get 20% bonus vs 5% for standard mgmt, and also get car allowance + large pay gap)

Pros

Not many that I can think of. Probably the most political organisation I have ever worked for. Pays well I guess.

Cons

Unfortunately there are many of these! Don't believe the hype - let me put you straight on a few thing: 1- This is not a flexible company to work for - you have to apply each week to work from home 2- Forget any management support - it's every man for himself- watch your back! 3- The annual performance appraisal system is toxic! It is based on a 'bell curve' and basically someone has to 'take one' for the team- i.e. - get a bad performance rating 4- Management is shockingly bad. Narcissistic, Bullying, 5- Escalations are commonplace and used as the general vehicle to get things done 6- Complete lack of automation in internal processes - CustomerService lead time is shockingly long 7- Vodafone trailing the market in their Product offering- only now launching SDN - 18 months after their competition!
