Pros
LiveOak Fiber offers competitive benefits, including solid employer-paid healthcare, which is genuinely appreciated. Many of the people are kind, collaborative, and committed to doing good work especially within the construction team, where there is a lot of practical experience and dedication. At the individual contributor level, there are some truly talented employees who care deeply.
Cons
Since the transition to the current executive leadership team, the company has struggled with direction, transparency, and execution. Decision-making at the top feels inconsistent and reactive rather than strategic, which has created uncertainty across the organization. Communication from leadership often emphasizes optimism without addressing real operational or financial challenges, leaving employees feeling disconnected from reality. Innovation appears slow, and feedback from experienced teams does not seem to be meaningfully incorporated into leadership decisions. Overall morale has suffered as a result.
