Pros

It is a startup with a customer base that is 40 years old. It is exciting to work on projects that make real impact to bottom line. Work from home is always a plus. Many amazing coworkers that are enjoyable to work with.

Cons

Folks are promoted to manager because of past relationships or they do well in current positions. Many have little to no management experience which causes issues setting up new organizations. We need some managers that have years of experience managing people successfully.

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.
