      Arrogant, unkind and ruthless operators. Do not make the same mistake I did!

      Pros

      4 day week had some perks. (albeit 4.5 days, not 4 as they advertise) Some people there were genuinely talented, decent human beings. The office is aesthetically pleasing, but is now a ghost town.

      Cons

      Lunio's leadership, especially at the C-level, is marked by arrogance, ruthlessness, and incompetence, creating a culture where blame is shifted, and no one takes responsibility. Over the past 10 months, I've seen senior team members avoid accountability and blame their teams instead. During interviews, they talk about wanting 'high-performers' and 'A-players,' but they don't mention the two rounds of redundancies and questionable performance-based firings in the last 10 months. This has affected 25-30 people, including one person fired while on holiday and another just weeks after a promotion. All had no prior warning. No communication was given to the existing team, other than seeing us deleted from Slack one after another. The CEO was on holiday whilst all this was happening. Cowardly behaviour. These issues come from poor management, their failure to lead and execute improvements to the product. Targets change every three months whenever the C-suite decides. The awards and 'people-first' posts on social media are just for show. The CEO never spoke to me the whole time I was there. They are now forcing existing team members to post fake reviews here. Probably fearful of their own jobs. Their responses to some of the recent reviews just shows how arrogant and unkind they are. Some of the responses don't make sense or have definitely been written using AI. That's A-players for ya! There's a lot more I could say, but I'll stop here to stay anonymous. This really says it all.

As Lunio continues to grow, we continue to review our business performance against both excellence and efficiency. Though we recognise your feedback comes from personal experience, it is reasonable for any team to expect under performance & delivery in a role, especially where the role is commercially-focused, to be managed, and we use tangible data to make evidence-based decisions where there is a people impact. Our engagement surveys are consistently positive and we will always actively encourage our employees to leave fair and reflective reviews of our culture and their experience of working at Lunio. At Lunio we're committed to creating a high performance culture where people are enabled, supported and expected to perform at the optimal level. Our four day work week, enhanced leave policies, flexible hybrid working and performance related bonuses all demonstrate that we're invested in the well being of our team.

      Pros

      - Starting salaries are nice, but they never get reviewed again (maybe a % increase in January if your manager likes you). This means new starters doing the same job WILL get paid more than you - 4 day week is genuinely nice

      Cons

      - No career progression opportunities, there’s always a new ‘career framework’, ‘plan’ etc. But it never comes to fruition, it’ll be released to a big fanfare and you’ll won’t hear about it again. - Job security doesn’t exist at Lunio. You’ll be brought in as part of a ‘cohort’ of 4/5 people and maybe one of you will still work there in 12 months. Very few seem to make it to 2 years (required to vest any stock) - Frequent redundancy rounds and ad-hoc dismissals, until you reach 2 years and gain employment rights: you’ll probably be fired for ‘performance’ one afternoon. You’ll disappear from slack and your colleagues will have no idea what happened. If you say the wrong thing, disagree with the party line, or your face doesn’t fit: you’re gone. - Company spends a lot of time obsessed with its image of DE&I and very little on its actual staff

      Pros

      You work with a bunch of talented, fun and smart people that really want to be successful.

      Cons

      Massive hire and fire culture. Lunio pride themselves with big LinkedIn announcements about “voted best place to work”, “4 day work week” and a sparkly HQ office. That all doesn’t mean anything when behind closed doors employees have to fear for their jobs on a daily basis as redundancies never seem to stop, are happening frequently and unannounced. The anxiety that comes with it is not worth any of the seemingly good benefits. There’s not much transparency around where the company is headed or why another colleague (or 5 or 10 at a time) have been made redundant out of nowhere.
