      Runaway bus and nobody is at the wheel - Lead Analyst Lumen Employee Review

      Pros

      Some good people are still left.

      Cons

      The company is running on auto-pilot. Executives at the VP level and above are completely clueless. Everyone that knew what they were doing were fired. CenturyLink bought Qwest, then fired many employees to make room for the Saavis acquisition. Now you have a company with huge assets and nobody left that knows what they're doing. The good employees that were left over have now left this sinking ship to work at good companies. Closing positions across the US and then opening the same position in Monroe, LA. The atmosphere is one of complete chaos with salary cuts and layoffs on the horizon.

      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.
