Pros

Great people to work with, strives for improvements, very honest to customers, promotions or transfers available from within, decent pay and benefits for the industry, some exciting products / services if they can execute on them....

Cons

Can get lost in silos org structures, although they are trying to improve on this. You can at times can feel a little lost in such a large organization, but in EMEA if you focus on being a smaller Company within a Larger one - you'll be fine.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We value your input. We're disappointed to hear about your experience at Lumen. Unfortunately, at times, restructuring, reorganizations, or realignment to business realities is needed to drive our continued transformation and company growth. These decisions are difficult and not something we take lightly. Lumen understands the impacts these events have on our employees and provides support and guidance through the challenging transitions. Please reach out to us at CTLHRActionTeam@lumen.com if you would like to discuss anything further. We're glad you value our medical benefits and AI integration. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate your hard work!
