      Pros

      Great team and coworkers, opportunity to work in huge enterprise environments and gain valuable experiences that would be difficult to obtain in other organizations, some of the upper middle managers genuinely listen and and provide solid guidance personally and professionally.

      Cons

      They will lay you off with absolutely no warning, and the layoffs are almost constant, cut cut cut until its they're short staffed then they bring back some of the same people as contractors, but mostly just outsourcing to India, if you are in India you should demand higher pay, their business troubles are related to making massive investments for the future but their only solution to their financial woes is to layoff staff and outsource, really uncreative upper management, and they skip over some of the middle upper management who have been holding the company together, those who should be running the company are skipped over for executive positions in favor of Steve Jobs wannabes who organize ted talk style corporate kool aid drinking sessions that add nothing of value to the company.

      Thank you for sharing your experience with us. 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. We truly appreciate your transparency and the feedback you provided. Thank you for all that you do at Lumen.

      Pros

      This company has nothing good about it .. This company Hired me with a sallery they promised they never gave, Later when I voiced out my opinion about something wrong done by manager entire system was against me. And it Passed from my old manager to new manager,

      Cons

      I had to Resign because of Favour given to my women colleague,I quit corporate job and settled at my village now , owning a small business and it's peaceful, but must say this company is worst ..
