      It's been a good ride, not sure how much longer I can hang on - Lead Info Systems Engineer Lumen Employee Review

      Pros

      Pay, benefits, paid time off, stable job

      Cons

      Unless you are lucky, there really isn't career mobility within the company. It doesn't help that older workers stick around a long time as well. Inconsistent work at home policy - don't ask don't tell. I feel isolated because all coworkers work in different states and it much harder to collaborate. It is hard to know where the company is headed because I work in a bubble and have no idea what other IT teams are working on or what the company is working on for the future.

      Pros

      Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

      Cons

      Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
