Good pay, unlimited time off, endless amount of training available on LMS, challenging work, great ERGs, wide range of roles available, awesome coworkers with many years of real experience willing to share.
Cons
Raises are inconsistent, no stock options for employees below Director level, no employee stock purchase plan, antiquated and demoralizing 9-block performance rating system.

Thank you for leaving a review. We are disappointed to see your overall experience has not been positive. As a current employee, if you would like to discuss specific concerns, please contact us at CTLHRActionTeam@lumen.com.
Great company, everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. Management was pretty laid back but still expected results. This role was remote btw.
Cons
No bad things to say

Business outlook
Pros
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.
Cons
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
