TDPs do not want to work here under the thumb of stinks draconian rules. They all want to WFH and they all want to make more money than the $80k bare minimum the company offers. Thats why they all leave before they even finish the program.

TDP is a joke we’re not attracting any top talent w salary of 80-90k.
ATT TDP is a good program for entry level US citizen new graduates. Learn skills then move on to other companies. This would benefit ATT taking advantage of the continuous pool of graduating US citizens. Win-win for ATT and US citizen new graduates.

Top-tier H-1B talent tends to gravitate toward companies like Google and Meta, while AT&T's use of the program is often driven more by cost savings than by competing for the strongest candidates. That raises a fair question about whether cost-focused staffing, especially through contractors and high-turnover roles, gives enough weight to safeguarding critical data. Meanwhile, TDP participants tend to either leave for better opportunities within a few years or advance quickly within AT&T.
