Pros

Remote work; As an entry level writer, not too many meetings; Benefits and compensation were okay; projects could sometimes be interesting (graphical abstract and infographic work were cool); advancement to senior positions seemed typical and expected if you desire; my team was actually wonderful and supportive

Cons

Tedious and repetitive work for the most part, not very engaging (typical of medical writing in pubs); Very demanding and fast-paced, often working over 40 hours each week (and not compensated for that time), which is typical in oncology pubs; Time spent on projects were extremely micromanaged; Most projects were uninspiring and essentially following what was done before (again, typical for medical writing in pubs)

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.
