Pros

Very few pros to working for this company... flexibility with remote work was great, but contributed to a lack of human connection. A lot of the people who work at Lumen are absolutely awesome, but as the company started letting many of these people leave over the past 1-2 years, something didn't feel right.

Cons

The culture isn't great, there's a lack of leadership, and the benefits have been a disappointment. It seems as if everyone is obsessed about making a number and subsequently answering to wall street. My boss intentionally got rid of me days before a multi-year anniversary so that I would be denied employer matched contributions to my retirement as well as the vast majority of an annual bonus. This boss never even bothered to meet me in person for over 8 months... Cameras are off on pretty much every call anyways, so if you want to feel like you're part of something, avoid Lumen at all costs.
