Lumen has a history of growth through acquisitions, which enable us to meet evolving customer demands. Unfortunately, at times that means layoffs and/or reorganizations are needed to drive our transformation. Those decisions are difficult and not something we take lightly. Thank you for leaving us a review.

Pros

- Benefits are great, medical coverages are great and there are a few plans to choose from that makes sense for you. Prescription coverage has changed a bit over the years and declined a bit but still within reasonable expectations. The additional perks and benefit services are great, lots of savings and reimbursement options. - teams are great and collaboration is necessary, but easy when you work with great people

Cons

- stability is a large concern for most of the population, as with any transformation and AI focused company there is a gap in the value of people vs. the value of time and money. It never used to be this way.
