Lumen reviews

CEO eradicated raises years ago for the rank and file but still makes between $17 million and $35 million annually while the stock languishes around $10/share and revenues decline. Company is a product of multiple M&As but has never merged internal tools so it's a morass internally. Leadership caters to it's pets and ignores/overworks the true performers who actually get the job done. Revenue declines every year with no end in sight due to the commodity nature of its services. Management is rife with liars. Lack of transparency and HR speak is endemic. Drinking the kool aid is a management pre-requisite.

Outdated business model that will ultimately lead this company to fail if they don’t figure out how to exist in this century. This company is struggling hard and it is so evident in the atmosphere. Penny pinching all around. Leadership cannot agree to the same strategy and has unrealistic expectations around what is possible. Focused on too many shiny objects and not on clear goals. Totally scattered and a lot of micromanagement. Toxic and competitive environment, rather than a collaborative and fun culture. So many double standards when it comes to practicing what they preach. Bonus cuts and NO raises ever. I’ve worked for many companies and this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. Some departments may be better than others.
