Pros

Remote work. Above Market salary

Cons

This place is a start up but they have no vision from top down on what they are trying to achieve. The mentality is get things done by any means necessary like cutting corners, lying about numbers, performance, etc. My boss at one point told me to lie to vendors because leadership promised certain delivery dates but didn’t have all the requisite pieces in place to make that an actuality. I was consistently reached out to outside of working hours people sending messages at 11PM at night expecting responses. My advice is look elsewhere, they are enticing with the salaries but the business practices are unprofessional and unethical.

It is unfortunate that you had a negative experience at Brightspeed. We hope that you provided your perspective to management and human resources before departing the company.

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.
