Lumen reviews

ah,... so many to share.... first off, after the merger with Level 3, the culture has reached a point that so many people have been overlooked for promotions or have been bullied into submission. Many people have tried to do the right thing but only to be shunned by leaders that believe they are the end all, be all of the company which has led to a ton of "cost cutting" and overworking of employees. Narcissism and toxic people are at the helm of this sinking ship which in turns creates mid mgmt to be "people pleasers". which in turns allows for bullying and whatever necessary means to pull people inline. If you have ethics and an integrity.... you will be pushed out or you will end up just hearing a story about how someone sucks because that is the narrative they want you to hear. When leaders don't allow for transparency and control the narrative, you should run because one day, the marrative will turn on you. You can only conform for so long before it gets to you.

The company culture has taken a nose dive since the Level 3 acquisition. Things are wildly unstable with layoffs secretly occurring every few months. Constant re-orgs make it difficult to get anything done because you have a new manager or even a whole new team every few months as well. Leadership provides little to no direction on what our strategy is, so you don't know whether your work product will even be used in the long run. Leadership is deliberately vague as to what is happening behind the scenes and why, which leads to a lot of distrust. Employees live in fear of being laid off on any given Friday, which was apparently always the case with Level 3, so much so that they called them "Black Fridays." Steer clear if you like a stable work environment.
