      CenturyLink has a history of growth through acquisitions, which enable us to meet evolving customer demands. Unfortunately at times that means layoffs and/or reorganizations are needed to drive our transformation. Those decisions are difficult and not something we take lightly. Thank you for leaving us a review, we are sorry to hear you did not enjoy working here.

      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.
