Pros
I'm giving LVT 3 stars because across the company I worked with some amazing, talented, and caring people, and they were mostly what kept me coming back every day. The product itself is really cool and working somewhere that you can make a real difference in the world and people's lives is really neat too. I got to work with a lot of different customers in different industries that kept work interesting.
Cons
In my experience, this company strongly prefers an in-office presence five days a week. I noticed inconsistencies across departments when it came to expectations and accountability — some seemed to operate under entirely different standards, which I found confusing and frustrating at times. The promotion and raise process felt overly complex and unclear to me. There’s no set timeline for reviews or increases; instead, everything is based on performance — but the performance metrics and what qualifies as “merit” often seemed vague. Getting in front of the merit committee was a process that required building your own case and hoping leadership would advocate for you, which didn’t always happen in my case. I often saw external candidates brought in for roles where I felt internal employees could have excelled. That was disappointing, as it seemed like opportunities for growth within the company weren’t prioritized or well-supported, at least from my perspective. I personally found the leadership style in my department to be lacking in direction and employee support. I rarely had regular 1:1s, which made it difficult to feel aligned or supported. It often seemed like leaders were more focused on cross-functional meetings and their own visibility than on the actual needs of their teams. I didn’t feel like I had a true advocate in leadership, and at times, it felt like accountability was unevenly distributed. I’ve also heard secondhand that one leader in my department has had a somewhat polarizing track record at previous companies, which, if true, might explain some of the team dynamics I observed. Of course, everyone’s experience is different — this is just what I encountered and how it felt to me. If you’re someone who thrives in structured environments with clear pathways to advancement and hands-on leadership, I would not recommend working here based on my experience.
