If its T-Mo, I interviewed with same company and most probably same team, its a good team but not much of exciting work. Their corp strategy team solves a lot of internal problems. They have certainly solid people in the group and definitely defined career path. You will be VP in few years but Telco genuinely doesn’t have lots of exciting problems to solve. I spoke with them in details around key problems and they are still trying to solve how to get more customers at better pricing point. Not much of focus around new applications in Connected car, healthcare etc. If you think that’s good enough, please join. Company has excellent work culture and WLB. Feel free to DM if you’d like to discuss.

If #1 is Verizon, I’d never take the job - no matter how much money it is. They’ve got the worst culture of any company I’ve seen. You’re better off working unlimited hours.

Smells like T-Mobile. If so, the Corp strat team seems like a solid group of people. But don’t buy into the whole 5g white space idea. The telcos gave away all value with 4g, they’ll end up doing the same with 5g. The real value will be with the users of the networks and providers of solutions.
