Terrible management - Finance

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

clean building and decent benefits. Some people are really nice to work with. Good products and market. Location is okay.

Cons

Terrible management. Always fire drill. You'll get no sense of trust from CFO and directors. Just terrible, worst place to work.

Lumentum Operations Response

Spinning off from JDSU and becoming a standalone public company involved a tremendous amount of work for many functions, Finance among them. I am sure some days it did feel like a fire drill. We have been focused on improving our systems and processes for simplicity and efficiency.
