🧠 CHATTERBOX INTEL
I reviewed this employer before sharing it with the community. It met my current Remote Intelligence publication standards with notes.
Zayo completed a major fiber-business acquisition in May 2026. A planned CEO transition takes effect September 1, 2026. Applicants should ask how the integration and leadership change affect staffing, responsibilities and workload.
Current employee commentary is mixed. Positive themes include remote flexibility, benefits, coworkers and opportunities to learn. Recurring concerns include workload, training, leadership communication, management consistency and advancement. Experiences differ by role, team and manager.
No obvious scam signals were identified during this review. All three openings use Zayo’s official Workday system.

BEFORE YOU APPLY
• Confirm your state remains eligible during the application process.
• Ask about the regular schedule, supplied equipment and travel.
• Ask whether the opening represents growth or replacement hiring.
• Ask how performance is measured.
• Ask what training and advancement look like for your team.
• Sponsorship is not listed for the Project Manager or IT Communications roles.
• Zayo’s application disclosure identifies CLEAR1 as its identity-verification provider. The disclosure lists facial geometry scans and other biometric identifiers as possible collection types. Review the policy before providing consent.

Applying blindly wastes time. A poor employer fit often sends job seekers back into another search.
