Pros

Paychecks don't bounce, what little you get paid.

Cons

Expect to earn $30k less than your peers at any other "technology" company. Hourly emotes make more than you, with same bonus. 24X7X365 under the false premise you have FTO Lumen wants the best, but pays the worst Minumal.raises. You WILL lose money working here, as they don't believe inflation affects management. Culture is dog eat dog. Help NO ONE, as if it.affects your metrics, you become a low.performer.and are.gone. Low performer quotas..given weeks before year end reviews. Make up fats/reasons, do whatever you need to, to make that quota.

Pros

Work/life balance, generous paid time off, flexibility to get to appointments as needed, a revamped short term incentive program. Lumen's leadership has really transformed the culture and put the company on a form foundation for growth.

Cons

They are still working on systems integration and combining the multiple companies that were merged into the current company. Leadership has made it a priority to invest the resources necessary to integrate the systems, workflow management. At this point the changes are starting to become evident.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
