Pros

A nice company to work for overall. Leadership has improved noticeably in recent times. Things were starting to feel a bit stale, but there’s been a significant outflow of long-tenured employees alongside an influx of new people, which has shaken things up in a positive way.

Cons

Luno sits in a slightly awkward middle ground - it’s not a startup anymore, but it’s not a large corporate either (and not a scaleup either). Teams are relatively lean, yet there’s still enough process to slow things down. As a result, we have too much bureaucracy for our size, but not enough resources to execute quickly, which can make the company feel more corporate than its stage would suggest. That said, things have definitely improved. Delivery speed has picked up noticeably over the last 6–12 months and there’s been a positive shift in momentum. We’re still not moving as fast as I’d like, but we’re heading in the right direction.

Pros

- Huge top-down focus on culture and People topics: trusting in employees and empowering them, making people the best possl - The vast majority of people here are above average smart and kind - One of the most exciting companies to work for with massive transformative purpose and enormous ambitions (1 billion customers by 2030) - In the US, it feels like a once in a lifetime opportunity to join as one of the early employees and be part of making history

Cons

- scaling challenges with internal coordination, planning and decision making across offices and regions around the world - the business and organization here in the US is completely new, so a lot of things will take a while to work smoothly and you have to be ok with that - scaling the team fast enough for our ambitions - some people don't like that the culture can be "too nice" at times
