Pros

I started my career in lumen and currently working there. I could say it's a best working place for freshers to upskill if you have got into a good project. While the company gives wfh benifits, team support is very good which made me feel like this is one of the best working places.

Cons

Every company has both pros and cons. One should believe their own talent to grow in a company rather than blaming the company's cons

Pros

work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

Cons

No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
