      Pros

      Good work environment, Apart from regular work provides 360 degree improvement in your skills If you are willing to learn new things. Provides many platform to work apart from your regular project. For freshers it is very good but for experience holders not a good choice. Fun at work is very good. HR are doing very good.

      Cons

      Don't expect too much from Management. Management is very bad. Few Senior positions leads doesn't have basic domain knowledge but still people are reporting to them. Appraisals & promotions are very unfair If you are a " Mallu " then only u can get everything & anything within no time. Ir-respective of your performance. Onsite opportunities are not there if you joined as a fresher till next 5 years.

      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!
