Pros

Working remote is great along with Flex-Time.

Cons

Working for a private equity backed company, there's a lot of leadership changes. Most of leadership are ex-Verizon execs and/or most teams came from Lumen... therefore innovation and new ideas aren't really accepted. It's more of the same, just under a different company name. Lots of politics to navigate. Once you believe you have a handle on things and you're hopeful, the rug get pulled and you have to get back up and try to get your footing again.

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.
