Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. CenturyLink has a history of growth through strategic acquisitions and we are particularly proud of our most recent acquisition of Level 3. We are continuing our integration journey and understand that change can be tough for some employees, we will continue to focus on creating a positive, inclusive, employee friendly culture.

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.
