Pros

Remote work is the only one I can think of

Cons

- Onboarding is just setting you up with a laptop, training is non existent. - You're thrown into projects with little to no direction, then reprimanded when it’s not up to par. -If you are in a more junior role looking to learn & grow, this place definitely isn’t for you. No one has the time to actually train/mentor you. You’ll feel so disheartened & alone here. -There is no structure here. No one who actually assigns projects out. No outline of the steps/tasks required to complete said project. -Because there is no structure, you are expected to be so many roles in one. You are an event planner/coordinator/project manager/secretary etc. -There’s a toxic culture/expectation that you never truly log off. You’ll find yourself doing 12 hour days, no overtime pay if your salaried. -Understaffed but consistently taking on more work. -Unlimited PTO sounds great, until it’s time for you to actually take it. The expectation is the company comes first & even if you follow policy of putting it in ahead of time, you should cancel it there is a company need. Again, they are under resourced so this is why. -Senior staff haze the more junior associates. They’ll throw work at you at the end of the day knowing it will take you into the evening. They will give you unrealistic deadlines then chastise you for not delivering on time or at prestige quality. You’ll feel dumb & inadequate even though you were never trained on how to do the task you were given. -When you sign your offer letter, you basically signed it in blood. There is no such thing as having after work plans ever again. There is no such thing as after work, because you’ll always be working.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We recognize it took courage to be this candid, and we want you to know it is being heard seriously. Many of the experiences you've described — around onboarding, project clarity, workload balance, and mentorship — do not reflect the kind of environment we aspire to build, and we're not going to dismiss them. Feedback like this helps us identify where there are real gaps between our intentions and the day-to-day reality for our team members. We are actively working to improve structure around how work is scoped and assigned, how new team members are supported, and how we protect reasonable boundaries around time and availability. We know that saying we're committed to improvement only matters if it's reflected in the actual experience of our people — and we take that seriously. If you're open to it, we'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly. Please reach out to HRConnect@lumanity.com— your input could genuinely help us make meaningful changes.

Pros

don't recommend Lumanity to anyone

Cons

The onboarding and training process did not meet my expectations. I was told during the hiring process that I would receive structured training, but in practice this never materialized. Although there was a training plan available, it was not actively followed or prioritized by my manager. From my first week, I was assigned to multiple client projects with minimal guidance and was expected to learn independently while meeting demanding deadlines. The workload was often very heavy, with several concurrent projects and, at times, multiple deliverables due on the same day. For someone new to the company and medical communications, this created a steep learning curve and made the transition unnecessarily challenging. In my experience, work-life balance was poor. Tight deadlines and high workloads frequently resulted in long working days, and it was common to see colleagues working from early morning until late at night, particularly during busy periods. The pace of work often felt unsustainable.
