Thank you for writing a review. We are excited about our future and how we play a key role in enabling our customers’ digital transformations. As the needs of our business change, we must evaluate our workforce and transform accordingly to ensure we are able remain an industry leader. Unfortunately, at times that means lay-offs and/or reorganizations occur. Those decisions are difficult and are not something we take lightly. We are happy to see you enjoyed a good work/life balance as well as the people during your time at CenturyLink.

Pros

- Benefits are great, medical coverages are great and there are a few plans to choose from that makes sense for you. Prescription coverage has changed a bit over the years and declined a bit but still within reasonable expectations. The additional perks and benefit services are great, lots of savings and reimbursement options. - teams are great and collaboration is necessary, but easy when you work with great people

Cons

- stability is a large concern for most of the population, as with any transformation and AI focused company there is a gap in the value of people vs. the value of time and money. It never used to be this way.
