Pros
+ Mostly friendly, down-to-earth people + Growth in position and responsibilities is generally encouraged + Working on lots of new games, products, features after years of a heavy focus on marketing + Decent benefits, with some unique options like Grand Rounds and OneMedical + Solid work/life balance, most people usually come in after 10 and start leaving after 5. Usually no weekends or late nights (unless you choose to stay late, in which case, dinner is paid for), but no one will encourage you to go home either + People actually use the flexible PTO quite flexibly with one-off doctor's appointments, 2 week long vacations, long weekends. People generally take more time off than the industry standard, but up to you to do so. + A few people work remote and working remote from time to time is acceptable + Plenty of social events
Cons
- Multiple people are leaving the company every month. It won't be long until it's a very different company. This might be a pro. - Lumos's "core values" are not taken seriously. You'll rarely hear about them within the company. There are multiple egos on multiple teams. Some people will yell and raise their voice and not be admonished. There are people who directly say "I've worked here longer than you" and people who indirectly say or think it, and this is used as rationale for decisions. These people and people with tenure at the company in general have favoritism as opposed to it being a meritocracy. Tenured and favorited employees can do no wrong, even if the team opposes their behavior and even if their behavior contradicts the "core values". - The combination of the two creates a serious Old Guard vs. New Guard feel, particularly with regard to some (not all) who were at the company before the FTC settlement. If the Old Guard doesn't agree with an opinion, it will feel not welcome or be pushed out, but don't expect any serious discussion about their opinions or decisions. The hypocrisy is real on certain teams. - Management/HR do not take transparent actions with regard to feedback and feedback may be ignored - No 401k match. - Insurance is not actually 100% covered for individuals unless you take the lowest tier plans. - No subsidized commuter passes, just the standard pre-tax option
