Lumanu Reviews

The people that work here are the reason I love Lumanu. Lumanu does an exceptional job at hiring hard-working, kind, intelligent people. Whenever I have a personal matter I have to take care of, my coworkers are understanding and happy to cover for me. It's amazing that they've sustained this strong of a company culture as a remote company. The company is passionate about learning and encourages you to do so. There's tons of room to grow professionally and potential for upward mobility. Transparency from leadership gives you insight into the big picture. It's interesting to hear where the company is headed, and feel like you're part of the reason the company is successful. Also, we are all encouraged to speak up and challenge decisions. It doesn't feel like there's a company hierarchy - it feels as though we all have a say and have contributed to create the company Lumanu is today. Unlimited PTO!

At the time of this writing, I have only been a part of Lumanu for over a month. This is my first full-time job out of college, and I can honestly say that I am blessed with luck to have discovered such a gem of a company. Here's why: The Product The product Lumanu is developing is very exciting and has a lot of potentials to succeed big time in the creator economy. Working on a product that I believe in makes me more excited to contribute and voice my ideas for new features. The Leadership Tony, our CEO, has essential leadership qualities. He has the experiences of working at various companies in various positions to inform his decision-making. He takes great care in creating a culture at Lumanu where any team members can speak up and have their voice be heard. He takes everyone's feedback seriously, and this is a mark of great leadership. Great leadership is not a dictatorship model; great leadership is surrounding yourself with capable people whose opinions enhance your own decision-making. Most importantly, Tony really does care about everyone's individual growth, and it shows. He implements a weekly one-on-one system where people meet up with their supervisors and get/provide feedback. Any smart leader knows that the growth of their company directly corresponds to the growth of their employees. The Team I love everyone I've met so far at Lumanu. Everyone is nice, capable, motivated, and willing to cooperate as a team. It is a joy every day to work with everyone here. As the most inexperienced person on the team, I've gotten a ton of help from everyone. I ask countless questions, and there is always someone who is there to provide me the answer. The Work-Life Balance This is one of the most important aspects I look for in a job, more so than salary. At Lumanu, there is unlimited PTO, and you are encouraged to take time-offs to take care of your life responsibility outside of work. If you're smart, you know that more work hours don't necessarily correlate to more productivity. It is efficient work hours that drive productivity, and for people to be efficient, it is crucial that they maintain a balance in their life. They need time at work, time away from work to care for their hobbies, their family, their responsibility, their well-being. This will ensure that people are healthy and productive in the time that they do spend at work. The Job I love my job. I get to learn a ton about Clojure, dabble in the paradigm of functional programming, and work on practical features for an app that gets used by actual content creators/influencers. The job is never stressful, and a lot of time, it is very fun, especially when I get to pair with other engineers. Tl;dr I rate this company 5/5. If you get in, you won't regret the experience. Not a lot of people get a chance to work at a young company whose culture is this awesome.
