Pros

I did not experience any

Cons

I am a seasoned Technology professional & have excelled in various organizations/roles ranging from individual contributor to senior management. CenturyLink was the worst employment experience I have ever had. After 1 year I raised concerns around hiring practices that I believe negligently misrepresented the position I accepted (and relocated for at my own expense). Simultaneously, I pointed out discriminatory compensation practices. I documented all of the above in the most professional, constructive ways possible and formally submitted to leadership. I then resigned. CenturyLink's actions following my resignation indicated my allegations were true. Regretfully, no one had the professional courtesy to follow up with me and address or even respond to my allegations. Consequently, I am taking further steps to get answers & accountability from CenturyLink. I would NOT recommend this organization. I do recommend anyone considering employment there ask a lot of questions to ensure they flush out any red flags that are not being disclosed & get everything in writing.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
