      Pros

      I spent over 15 years at Lumen, navigating its evolution through multiple mergers (tw telecom, Level 3, and CenturyLink). The culture shifted significantly under new leadership, but the last 9 years were rewarding — largely thanks to the incredible teams I landed on. Benefits were generous, and I always felt supported using unlimited FTO without issue.

      Cons

      That said, merit-based raises disappeared around 2017, so advancement required changing roles every few years. Upon separation, I received a thoughtful package including subsidized healthcare, severance, and outplacement support. Ultimately, your experience here depends heavily on who you work for.
