Pros

There are a lot of smart people working here, and many jobs can be done remotely

Cons

Decisions are made by a very small group of people and are not well communicated outside of that. The culture is awful and based on fear, with many people working weekends and lying or throwing colleagues under the bus to avoid blame and accountability. Promotional decisions are very political, and employees are stressed.

Pros

Many of the employees have been working together for a long time, most of them came from the initial merger between Lumen Technologies and Brightspeed. The general feel is good between peers and the friendships are great.

Cons

The company has terrible leadership and has treated merger employees as if we we were not a part of the company, even though we were the ones that stood up the new brand. Micromanaging leaders, they dont' trust or empower and caused a lot of friction by not backing employees. All values were lost in the merger.
