Pros

Flexible time off and work from home

Cons

1. No yearly merit increases (this is a policy) You will only get a raise if your manager and VP like you enough to give one. 2. In my case Lumen is very proud of their bonus structure, but in reality, you will never meet it at 100%. 3. Lumen says they encourage movement within the company, but in my case not so much.

Pros

Work from home is only pro

Cons

So many issues. No raises. Layoffs everywhere. When those happen you have to do extra work (no additional pay) Toxic culture Leaders are DINOSAURS who should be cut. C suite delusional on growth expectations Run away from this place and don’t ruin your career.
