Thank you for sharing your opinion and experiences here with others. It is well-know that the best hires are from employee referrals. Last quarter, 32% of our new hires were due to loyal employees referring those they know to Lumentum. We strive to increase this percentage year-over-year. We look to hire truly the best and brightest, and if our current employees can also vouch for these candidates, that’s even better!
