Travels to US used to be good in Qwest days. Reduced significantly. 4. Layoffs late last year and happened recently in the US after level 3 merger where good folks who came from earlier mergers were asked to go..

Pros

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.
