      Pros

      Broad portfolio with top-notch offerings across the base offer something employees can be proud of. Opportunities to learn abound. Cloud offerings are some of the best in the industry and improving.

      Cons

      CenturyLink can't seem to stop acting like an old telco. Large base of legacy staff with outdated business ideas and practices are a heavy anchor to opportunities to grow. Continues to spend money marketing just to the consumer, leaving no brand-awareness for the rest of the portfolio. While there may be growth areas, there are other very large pockets where career growth is seemingly deliberately stymied. Integration of Tier3 and Savvis has been handled very poor, and the exodus of top-talent continues.

      Pros

      Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

      Cons

      Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
