      Pros

      I joined Lumentum before the spin-off from JDSU. Throughout it all I have found the work scope and opportunity for growth to be excellent, and as well, the management to be supportive and enabling. The company has all the usual excellent SV high tech benefits, nice employee recognition programs, and a fun team environment. I can honestly say that when I wake up in the morning I look forward to the day, all it brings, and to spending time with my colleagues.

      Cons

      Lots of work - sometimes a bit overwhelming

      Disorganized management and excessive office politics.

      Pros

      NONE - Since Michael Hurlston became the new CEO

      Cons

      Work–life balance is poor, and compensation is below market with little to no raises over an extended period. Management is ineffective and condescending, prioritizing control over supporting and developing teams. Office politics dominate daily work. The organization values tracking attendance over meaningful output, and capable engineers receive little recognition for their efforts.
