Still better than several companies

Business Outlook

Pros

Work pressure not much, Hybrid Job Env. Very less office politics.

Cons

Promotions don't happen for male employees as compared to female employees. Company outlook not good, share price has vanished by 95% in a mere 12 months. Not very cutting edge solutions provided. Whole process needs to be revamped. Not a good company for freshers as there is not a lot to learn.

Stock Price Low, Company Morale Even Lower

Business Outlook

Pros

FTO allows for flexible vacation time. Remote work is great. No need to come into the office because it was sold. People at the team level are friendly and nice to work with.

Cons

Layoffs continue to happen every couple of months across all departments. Chance of any kind of upward mobility is slim. Pay increases/cost of living increases will take years to happen if at all. Company is constantly performing poorly so your bonus will be cut accordingly regardless of personal performance. Most work in operations/tech has been outsourced to India leaving very few actual employee resources left to go to for expertise/questions.

A roller coaster with no end in sight

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on team can be a fun place to work, remote work is a bonus

Cons

Been a few years of a roller coaster starting from level 3 and centurylink merger. A skeleton crew across the company, fake pretense of work life balance while everyone has 10 things to handle. You barely get recognized for work, promotions area distant dream. A lot of mumbo jumbo on work life balance, speak up etc.
