Astonishing Place - Senior Engineer Lumentum Operations Employee Review

Pros

Excellent pay, espp, stock grants

Cons

Appalling management, bullying from overbearing project managers, cronyism to such an extent that leadership roles were doled out based on how much one sociopathic senior manager liked you. A friend of mine went out to lunch with this sociopath. Every Thursday. They were buds. One Thursday afternoon we noticed my friend was gone from the company. It turns out my friend said something that the sociopath did not like so he fired him at lunch. The sociopath is still making all hiring and promotion decisions. Every experienced engineer has left. The result was that products were being made that would be an embarrassment to an elementary school shop class.

Pros

Great technology and colleagues. New CEO is driving high performance culture

Cons

Extremely political workplace. Team is led by an insecure leader who lacks vision for the company and her team. Everyone is set up for failure. Team is not empowered to succeed.
