      Horrible Work Place

      Pros

      Free lunch, snacks, and drinks. Some nice people work there, which creates a somewhat decent environment for employees. Benefits are great.

      Cons

      Executives and higher ups want to be feared by all employees. Founder of the company and CTO are clueless as to what really goes on in the company. HR in Orlando is not professional, they create relationships with employees and try to sabotage other employees and their jobs. The company rarely hires or promotes within, they are constantly trying to expand.

      Do Not Recommend

      Pros

      Free food. Some smart people. High tech. Interesting problems in the space.

      Cons

      The company culture feels very secretive and uncollaborative. Speaking to other departments except via official channels is frowned upon. Poor opportunity for career advancement internally. Quite a few high performers have gotten upset about not having opportunity for promotion. In case you do join, get your position clarified first and make sure you're happy with it! Some rude people here. A little bit of professionalism would go a long way! The worst: Fighting and yelling common at the C-level and VP-level. Really unenjoyable environment to be in. "Internal politics gone crazy" comment in another review is true in a quite a few ways! Perhaps those giving high reviews of the company probably are not exposed to this.

      Luminar desperately needs a new CEO

      Pros

      Great co-workers and free food

      Cons

      HORRIBLE Senior Leadership team. They are completely unaligned, argue constantly and the CEO is far from a leader and is completely unproductive. He may have re-developed a great technology, but he has zero clue how to run the company or drive the business.
