Pluspunten

I have learned so much at CTL. So many problems to solve and most of the individual contributors are willing to help out. The benefits are ok. Decent health benefits and decent 401k match. FTO (Flexible Time Off) policy is decent, if you're not guilt tripped or bullied into working more and never taking your days off. Remote work is possible. I got to work remote a lot of the time and in different positions. Peers are usually very smart and hard working. This is a great place to learn about coorporate politics and learn what you don't want in a company.

Minpunten

ah,... so many to share.... first off, after the merger with Level 3, the culture has reached a point that so many people have been overlooked for promotions or have been bullied into submission. Many people have tried to do the right thing but only to be shunned by leaders that believe they are the end all, be all of the company which has led to a ton of "cost cutting" and overworking of employees. Narcissism and toxic people are at the helm of this sinking ship which in turns creates mid mgmt to be "people pleasers". which in turns allows for bullying and whatever necessary means to pull people inline. If you have ethics and an integrity.... you will be pushed out or you will end up just hearing a story about how someone sucks because that is the narrative they want you to hear. When leaders don't allow for transparency and control the narrative, you should run because one day, the marrative will turn on you. You can only conform for so long before it gets to you.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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
