      Runaway bus and nobody is at the wheel - Lead Analyst Lumen Employee Review

      Pros

      Some good people are still left.

      Cons

      The company is running on auto-pilot. Executives at the VP level and above are completely clueless. Everyone that knew what they were doing were fired. CenturyLink bought Qwest, then fired many employees to make room for the Saavis acquisition. Now you have a company with huge assets and nobody left that knows what they're doing. The good employees that were left over have now left this sinking ship to work at good companies. Closing positions across the US and then opening the same position in Monroe, LA. The atmosphere is one of complete chaos with salary cuts and layoffs on the horizon.

      Pros

      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

      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
