Pros

Stable paycheck, bar is low

Cons

If you work for CenturyLink as a Software Developer, your actual market value will decrease, because the company doesn't know how to run an IT department, and they will prevent you from growing meaningful experience. They'll treat you as an extension of the internal business customer, doing whatever work they don't want to do. The internal business client will give you as little information as they possibly can, and your management chain in IT will be spineless and cashless to you give you what you need to get the job done. The same business clients who throw wrenches in your wheels will be the same people who leave derogatory remarks on your review for being ineffective.

Great company, everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. Management was pretty laid back but still expected results. This role was remote btw.

No bad things to say

Pros

Ability to work remotely, wanting too share knowledge or learned skills with AI.

Cons

Treat people more like independent contractors and don't have centralized places to find information that it needed. There SharePoint sites are not easy to navigate.
