Pros

WFH, relaxed schedule. Insurance was alright, albeit expensive.

Cons

5 managers in 3 years. Benefits like STI are noticeably worse for new employees vs older. Getting a perfect review only entitles you to a 5% raise at max due to the limited pool for raises given to departments. Most get none.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We want to hear from people like you to learn how we can do better. Unfortunately, at times, restructuring, reorganizations, or realignment to business realities is needed to drive our continued transformation and company growth. These decisions are difficult and not something we take lightly. Lumen understands the impacts these events have on our employees and provides support and guidance through the challenging transitions. We're happy to have you on the team!

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
