Pros

You can earn a lot of money and don't have to work very hard, although benefits are way below market. If you want to feel smarter than the executives who make every single miniscule decision and where you can get away with doing nothing all day, this is the company for you. A Dilbert dream

Cons

You will never feel like you did anything worthwhile when you return home from work at the end of the day. Processes, programs, strategies are all designed by people who have no experience of execution and impact. I have worked for Big Tech before and have seen how agile and smart they are. Working at CenturyLink is much more akin to how we imagine working for the DMV would be.

Pros

work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

Cons

No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
