Lucent humbly says its employee benefits are competitive. But, they are better than most. E.g., Lucent benefits include an increasingly-rare pension, flex hours and every type of well-being insurance families need.
Additionally, Lucent is liberal about telecommuting. (After all, it sells the stuff that makes it possible.) But, natch, you must first qualify for a Lucent job that may be worked remotely. A desire to telecommute is not enough.
