ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
A telecom giant by any nameVerizon Business (formerly MCI WorldCom) was once the second-largest provider of national long-distance phone service (behind AT&T), until fraudulent accounting practices brought to light in 2002 pulled the company down from its lofty heights. After emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2004, the company was purchased (and kept as a subsidiary) by Verizon for $5.3 billion in equity and cash; the deal closed in early 2006. Today Verizon Business provides a broad range of communications services, though the lion's share of its income comes from serving large businesses with data and telephone access.

Tips from the inside
MCI in everything but name
Verizon has officially scrapped the MCI name, and as such, career information is not on an MCI-branded web site, but on one for Verizon Business (verizonbusiness.com/us/about/ careers), which offers an overview of working at the company as well as information about diversity and benefits. Applicants can search for a job by location and function, which includes accounting/finance, administrative, college recruiting/MBA, customer service, engineering, ethics, field operations, HR, IT, legal, management, marketing, project management, sales/sales support, technical sales and telemarketing.
