Lumen reviews

I have worked for CenturyLink for over 4 years and every year there is a change in the focus on what the company views will be their next growth area every year. Some senior management have the vision on where IT is going and make investments there, but Executive Management don't stick to those visions and in turn stop investing in the products that make the company a leader in the industry. In addition management and product do not listen to employees on what or how products should be developed and miss opportunities to better enable our customers.

Despite years of evidence to the contrary, CenturyLink continues to lie to itself about being anything other than a stodgy old phone company. A revolving door of upper management, and their accompanying "fresh new ideas," will never come to fruition, as concepts already hobbled by poor judgment and a stunning lack of funds will be turned completely on their ear when the mission changes yet again every 8 - 12 months. A corporate culture stuck in the 20th century becomes further and further hobbled by legacy systems piled upon each other from a string of never-quite-finished mergers and acquisitions. Pure mass forgives an inability and unwillingness to innovate, and fosters a culture of apathy, where schemers prevail. Cronyism springs eternal, as you'd rightly imagine.
