Pros

The company does well against its competitors such as Finisar. RSU stocks are great. We get twice a year bonus. The key is you have to negotiate your compensation package. Never settle for less. Aim high. What do you have to loose? If you already have a job, you would be in good shape to negotiate your salary. If you are laid off and looking, they will use that against you. But that is true with all companies.

Cons

The so-called DTO, discretionary time off. I hate it. It should be outlawed. Nothing beats standard vacation. I hate all the outdated legacy software written in VB6 and I despise traditional NI DAQ and old Labview codes.

Thank you for sharing your opinion of Lumentum with others. It's nice to hear that you are happy with your overall compensation package. When a candidate is being considered for a position, we determine our compensation packages based on market data for the position. Lumentum is constantly looking for ways to address work life balance in a growing, demanding & thriving global work environment. We offer competitive, comprehensive and best in practice benefits. One of the benefit that we see more and more companies are implementing which decades ago was unthinkable is a Discretionary Time Off (DTO) program which we believe gives employees more flexibility to manage their time off. It is a prime example of a program that enables empowerment where employees and managers are working together to foster work-life balance. Of course, like all other time off programs, the employee and their manager need to work together to ensure that both business needs and personal needs are met.

Can get stressful to keep up the high expectations from key customers. Work-life balance is a little challenging.

Pros

Smart and talented people working in the middle management level. Some interesting technology creates good potential, decent pay and benefits.

Cons

Totally dysfunctional executive management, too many reorganization, never a clear direction. So here is the math...within 1 year, my groups' VP resigned when the new SVP was on board for 3 months. The SVP brought in another SVP, then kick the same person out within 6 months. Then they let go the director the next month...another Sr Director decided to quit on his own after 20+ years in this company. Never a clear communication path, never had a BU all hand meeting , never even the willingness to listen.

We are very glad that you are happy with your salary and benefits package, and enjoy working with the people here at Lumentum. As a new company, we continue to grow, and with growth comes changes. Although there has been some supply chain management turnover in the past, the new SVP has built out his team and we are looking forward to their continued success.
