CenturyLink has a history of growth through acquisitions. As the needs of the business change to meet market demands; we must evaluate our workforce and transform accordingly, to ensure we are able to meet the markets needs and remain an industry leader. Unfortunately, at times that means lay-offs and/or reorganizations, are needed to drive our transformation. Those decisions are difficult and are not something we take lightly.

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.
