Pros

Embarq was a great place to work. The people were wonderful. Leadership (except for the CEO) was top notch.

Cons

The CEO and BOD sold out the employees to CenturyLink. CL culture was a sweat-shop where employees are not valued.

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.
