Pros

The benefits package was at least decent Their core network (at least the Level3 backbone) is well engineered.

Cons

-Low salary for the market -Old building with no amenities -Everyone in telecom has a preconceived notion of Lumen, most of them negative -Customer billing is a mess -Still have not combined Level 3, Global Crossing, Qwest, CenturyLink, Time Warner Telecom networks in a way that makes sense -Management is very old school

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
