AT&T

(NYSE: T · $22.49 ▲ 1.4%) AT&T is a telecommunications company that provides wireless and internet service to consumers. The company describes its aim as using its network, labs, products, services and people to create a world where everything works together seamlessly, in response to customers who want an easier, less complicated life. Telecom carriers generally own and operate the networks that carry voice and data traffic, so their business pairs heavy infrastructure investment with recurring subscriptions from households and individuals.

Alongside service plans, AT&T sells devices such as iPhone models and Apple Watch, and it runs trade-in programs open to both new and existing customers. It also markets offers to people switching from other providers, including reward cards intended to offset the cost of leaving an existing contract. Bundling handsets with service plans is common practice among wireless carriers, since device promotions are one of the main ways to attract subscribers and keep them on eligible plans over time.

AT&T says its people and their passion to succeed are at the heart of what it does, and that it is poised to connect millions of people with their world. The company shares stories about its talent and innovations, along with career advice and job opportunities, and it points prospective employees to a dedicated careers site at att.jobs. At large wireless and internet carriers, jobs typically span network engineering, research, retail and customer support, so recruiting covers technical and customer-facing roles alike.
