Pros

This is a stable company, that is shrinking. They are okay about having periodic reviews. And flex time off is ok- though I’m allowed less time off new than I was before flex time

Cons

Annual pay raises are anemic, and bonuses are arbitrarily ripped down for reasons that can’t be explained. There is no connection between performance and pay. If Lumen need capital, they’ll short fund the bonus pool and take what they need from employees incentive pay

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.
