Pros

People are generally nice, but not working with the cream of the crop. Def some really smart people there but they do tend to get drowned out by incompetent leaders.

Cons

Employees: Most are just there for the below industry standard pay. Leadership: I have to be careful here—"below industry standard" is a dog whistle. Their People Ops is more focused on responding to reviews with straight lies and gaslighting (as if we didn’t work there and experience what we did) rather than actually addressing what ex-employees are telling them. To debase your company, yourself, and your role that way baffles me. To each their own, right? You’re definitely below industry standard in pay, so just own it and move on. Pay: The other reviews are accurate. I was paid $12K less than most in this demographic, even after negotiating for more. Company Work Environment: It was a very laid-back office, with not many people present, even on hybrid days. The environment was pretty inclusive. People are generally nice, although some team leads feel the need to involve themselves in things that have nothing to do with them. There’s that old adage, "Here to show up and show out," but not in a good way. They double down when called out. Promotions: This is where it gets bad. They promote unqualified people over qualified ones because they accept lower pay. I saw it happen at least three times before I left earlier this year. Unlimited PTO: It’s great, until it’s not. They have around six people who abuse this policy without any consequences. How can you abuse unlimited PTO? By leaving all your work for your teammates. Benefits: It’s just insurance—no great compensation packages, no equity, nothing. Market Positioning: They are selling bad products to broke retail pharmacy owners. However, they’ve managed to create some decent strategic partnerships to help improve their current products. Sales Reps: They were constantly lying to prospects about our product capabilities and integrations. Overall: It’s not the best place if you’re established in your career, but it’s a decent starting point for a first job out of college. It’s a good place if you’re not an over-achiever and just want a paycheck. It’s a great place to work if there’s nothing else out there.

Pros

Lumistry has made meaningful progress over the last several months. Leadership is actively working to break down silos, improve cross-functional collaboration, and create better alignment across teams. There is a noticeable sense of momentum in the business, with new products, partnerships, and initiatives creating optimism about the future.

Cons

there is a lot happening at once. Priorities continue to evolve as the business scales, which can create competing demands on teams. Continued focus on prioritization and communication

Pros

The people. Some really great people work there still and used to work there.

Cons

Burnout is everywhere. Priorities constantly change, expectations are unclear, and people are expected to just figure it out. Deadlines are missed because teams are pulled in too many directions at once. Layoffs and restructures happen so often that uncertainty becomes part of the job. Decisions feel rushed, communication is poor, and every new change seems to create more work and more stress. Benefits have steadily gotten worse while workloads continue to increase, and meaningful raises are hard to come by despite taking on more responsibility. Leadership says a lot of good things, but it's hard to take those messages seriously when people are constantly stretched thin, burned out, and worried about what's coming next.
