      Pros

      The company is evolving quickly. Be open to sudden pivots and look for ways to utilize AI. Innovation is promoted -- if you can come up with a usable patentable idea, you will get a patent. Senior Management has a clear focus on where it wants the company to be. Assets are strong and it seems to be turning the corner.

      Cons

      If you join a part of the org that is tied to "legacy" telecom, you'll likely be looking for work or working for another company. The company is all in on AI and that seems to be as important as the "Lumen8". Expect the company to be sold when the balance sheet and the stock price make sense to a purchaser -- probably just before they ring up a profit and have most of the debt reduced.

      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
