Pros

1) Snacks! (and free catered lunch/breakfast tacos though rumor has it those have been phased out). 2)The office is located in a great area, there are lots of shops/restaurants around but you're not downtown. 3)There are some cool people that work there 4) Benefits are great!! (but I had to knock off a couple stars for compensation because they change the metrics for it a bunch) 5) Casual start-up vibe with trendy office space and dogs 6) Orange theory passes and an emphasis on health as part of the culture

Cons

I've thought about this a lot and it seems like a lot of my cons are growing pains that come with being a startup- confusing over product, lack of communication and delays in products. What I think is a larger concern is there is not a real opportunity for advancement and those essential to the products are overworked/underpaid. If you're competent and there for a bit, you'll get a new role. However, that promotion will come with no guidance or job description and chances are you will still have all your old tasks on top of random new ones. There is no clear line for how you grow as an individual. When you address this concern with management they will tell you there is nothing they can do. There's a lot of ideas at the top level of this company, which is great, that's what start-ups are for, but there's a focus on progressing for the sake of it and not perfecting the current project that leaves those at the bottom scrambling and on the front line of fire from the customer. I've noticed a lot of the responses to other reviews have mentioned voicing concerns. Which is something I did but it fell on deaf ears. This is a great company to work for if you're entry level. You will learn a lot about how companies work very quickly but as it stands right now, this is not a place to grow.

A Company in Rapid Decline

Pros

There are some genuinely great coworkers, although I would be extremely cautious and do not trust anyone from the South Carolina office.

Cons

Lumistry used to be a company that myself, and several others, were genuinely proud to work for. The culture, mission, remote flexibility, benefits, and employees made it a great environment, and there were truly amazing people throughout the organization before so many were fired or pushed out. Unfortunately, everything changed once new leadership took over last summer. Since Tim became CEO and Brent became CFO, the company has rapidly declined due to what feel like short-sighted, reactive, and self-serving decisions that have gutted the company internally. Institutional knowledge has been lost, morale has completely plummeted, turnover has skyrocketed, and favoritism and nepotism appear to matter more than actual performance or experience. Communication from leadership lacks transparency, trust across the organization has deteriorated, and employees are expected to take on more work with less support while leadership continues making damaging decisions that seem disconnected from the reality employees face every day. I personally felt undervalued, targeted, and deeply unappreciated despite the amount of effort and contribution I gave to the company. There was little meaningful opportunity for growth, recognition for hard work felt nonexistent, and the overall environment became exhausting and discouraging. Insurance costs increased significantly, PTO and benefits became recurring concerns, and many employees no longer felt secure or respected. It is genuinely sad watching what was once a strong company with a meaningful mission turn into an unstable and toxic workplace. At this point, Tim and Brent seem to be doing an excellent job driving the company into the ground, and from my perspective, Lumistry is not heading in a positive direction whatsoever. DO NOT waste your time dealing with this company and STAY CLEAR from working with any of these people.

Favoritism Over Qualifications

Pros

The company is fully remote if you are not in South Carolina

Cons

Since the leadership change, the culture here has shifted significantly. Decision-making appears to be driven more by personal relationships with executives than by merit or performance. Several experienced and capable employees have been replaced by individuals with closer ties to leadership, often with less relevant experience. Opportunities for growth feel limited unless you’re in the inner circle, which can make it a frustrating environment for those who value fairness, accountability, and professional integrity.
