steer clear - Membership Representative Lumistry Employee Review

- Great Austin office location with parking - Good benefits, unlimited PTO (although there are employees that abuses it) - Mostly great coworkers, 90% of colleagues are hard working and enjoyable to be around and care about the company culture and mission. - There is a strategy to move the company forward with new products and changes in process, yes, it is uncomfortable for some that are used to coasting their way through life, but change requires hard work. - Hybrid policy is great, most people come in on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday - Continuous learning and skill development through free access of Udemy - Career growth opportunities, quite a few internal promotions in the last 2 years.

- With the company spending the last 3 years building new software and features there a lot of changes, expectations, and work. But there are a few employees that are dead weight (abusing hybrid policy, abusing unlimited PTO, logging on after 10/11 AM leading to colleagues having to cover for them) And these are usually the same ones that complain all day. - My manager needs to better manage certain people abusing unlimited PTO, there should not be someone on my team taking 4-8 times as much as others leaving us to cover for them. - Not enough enforcement set on deadlines and expectation on product and feature releases. - Release schedules/milestone often miss, bug issues, lack of robust QE/QA

The people. Some really great people work there still and used to work there.

Burnout is everywhere. Priorities constantly change, expectations are unclear, and people are expected to just figure it out. Deadlines are missed because teams are pulled in too many directions at once. Layoffs and restructures happen so often that uncertainty becomes part of the job. Decisions feel rushed, communication is poor, and every new change seems to create more work and more stress. Benefits have steadily gotten worse while workloads continue to increase, and meaningful raises are hard to come by despite taking on more responsibility. Leadership says a lot of good things, but it's hard to take those messages seriously when people are constantly stretched thin, burned out, and worried about what's coming next.
