AI Insights:
Lumen is a legacy telecom limping through a permanent transformation that never quite transforms, perpetually one reorg away from finally getting it right. Work-life balance is genuinely good, mostly because nobody is in a rush to promote you or give you a raise. Layoffs and realignment to business realities arrive with the punctuality of a CenturyLink truck roll, while leadership cycles through faster than the comp plans. If you want stability skip it, but if you want a corporate-speak apology email after every layoff, you've found your people.
