Pros

Work / Life balance from working at home.

Cons

If Brightspeed were a compass, it’d be spinning like a tipsy top. Leadership? More like a game of darts—blindfolded. Knee-jerk decisions? Check. Fire drills? Daily routine. And rumor has it they’re planning a corporate garage sale: “Everything must go in three years or less!” Meanwhile, work is outsourced faster than a pizza delivery on a Friday night—resulting in layoffs that feel like a corporate exodus. Escalations? They’re like hot potatoes at a family picnic—everyone tosses them around until someone reluctantly claims ownership. As for newbies, they’re thrown into the deep end without a life jacket. No training, just a shadowing program that turns overwhelmed employees into reluctant mentors. Overall? Picture chaos, add a dash of disorganization, and voilà—you’ve got Brightspeed.

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.
