Pros

Since I have been here 20+ years, I would say the most obvious Pro is stability.

Cons

Due to the job stability that has been part of telecom, at least in the finance role, there is very little attrition, and thus, very few opportunities to grow in the company. The pay for performance process that Lumen has in place, often means that many good employees can go 3, 4, 5, 6 + years without a raise (zero) if they are on a high performing team. Lumen only allows a team of 10 to offer 2 people high ratings and thus, only 2 per year have the potential to receive raises, even if there are 5-6 high performing employees that are all exceeding expectations.

Pros

Super friendly team and staff. I have even connected with interns outside of my position and made great friends from this internship. You get to participate in numerous events and listen to guest speakers. Highly recommend this internship program!

Cons

My position was remote. While being at home is a plus, it can be challenging to connect with your manager or mentor since they have their own busy schedules.

Pros

Remote-ish, which I love if I go out of state I don’t have to take time off. Management is outstanding.

Cons

The promotion road map is confusing and typically not brought up unless you ask
