Pros

TLDR: great culture, great work-life balance, awesome perks, great office location, lots of personal/career-growth, lots of opportunities. I've grown so much as an engineer since joining Lumosity. I see noticeable improvement in my code month over month. The engineering culture here is so innovative and so amazing. We're always thinking of new ways of improving our development process and refactoring our code base. On the product side, as an engineer, I feel like my voice is always heard and this is definitely not the case with all tech companies. There's just so much room for personal growth. If you're more product-oriented, the product teams always love hearing an engineer's perspective. If you love solving difficult problems, all of our engineers build shippable product from day 1 and we design and architect systems in small teams. Senior engineers and managers provide guidance when asked but they won't micromanage or step in. If you enjoy data-mining and analytics, we have an amazing analytics team that works with both the science team and product team to analyze data. I feel super excited and happy to go to work everyday!

Cons

the company is growing rapidly so there are/might be some growing pains, but i feel like we're dealing with them pretty well. We can probably work on our inter-team communication, but everyone is so friendly it's pretty easy to talk to anyone in the company.

Pros

(Formerly) had great people and culture. Good work life balance.

Cons

Outsourced the entire the company to India and laid off 95% of US staff. Slightly lower average pay than other tech companies. Near the end the company was unable to produce viable product due to mismanagement and lack of engineering resources and talent.

The people who work at Lumos are wonderful, smart, and have their heart in the right place. It's a fun environment to work in, with a lot of autonomy.

Cons

Lumos hasn't yet figured out how to really execute well on product goals and chart a meaningful path towards constantly improving and innovating to remain at the forefront of the market.
