The psychological safety, the transparency, the honesty, the opportunity. I really love it here.
For me, there's nothing that I don't like.
Just keep on doing what you're doing. Being nice and excellent is such a wonderful approach, and you're living it, from the founders on. Maybe keep the full remote setup for everyone, because I think it is such a big part of the success that we have. Apart from that, I think you are all doing a great job.
Our working atmosphere here has been absolutely great. Luminovo is a unicorn in this regard. Managers are very open, respectful, and everyone works together. The feedback culture is great, and we have amazing psychological safety.
In the industry, the image is great, and also with other startups in the startup ecosystem, I think Luminovo has gotten a name.
This is still start-uppy, so to be very successful, you also have to put in the work. And we call it work-life integration in the best way possible, so Luminovo gives a lot of freedom. That made me, in the past and in the present, put in a lot of work to keep that freedom. But also, you don't get toxic pressure.
I would say I don't really know if we are doing anything, so maybe we just have to get more transparent about this.
For me personally, it has been great. I've been promoted two times in two years, and I think that is still possible since we are still growing. It's maybe not as easy as it was two or three years before, because we have reached a certain maturity. One is learning a lot all the time in regards to the industry, but also in what you're doing.
We are advocating for psychological safety, and I feel we have a great team in customer success. It may differ since we are fully remote from other companies, and that certainly has an influence. We don't know each other as well as we would when we were working onsite, but also, there's no toxicity in the culture, so it's not about coming together. That's the only thing I would mention.
This has been nothing but excellent for me. My manager is the best manager I've worked with, by far.
The office in Munich recently got a rework, and now it looks a lot better than before, with new desks, monitors and so on. Also, you get a new MacBook, a new mobile phone, and everything that you need. And since we are fully remote, I love it here.
We have great transparency, where employees get much more insights into all the numbers of the company and the trends, and that is very unique. At times, of course, communication between departments is very much in text, which is due to the fully remote culture. There is still improvement potential, but not in a typical sense.
I think you can earn more money in other companies, but they do a very fair benchmark each year, so I've also gotten a raise without asking for it because the benchmark went up, which is unbelievably great. And also the freedom you get, and the success and psychological safety you get: you can't pay that in money.
I feel we are doing great, at least in my department, but at the same time, one has to say that we have almost no women in leading positions, which certainly can be an improvement.
The industry is really, really complex, with a lot of different types of companies that can be worked with, and also, the product is unbelievably complex, so it never gets boring. It's rather the opposite. It can be overwhelming at times, especially if you are not from the industry. The first two years are a steep learning curve, and there is still a lot of freedom in what you want to do. If you want to improve processes and document processes, managers listen to what the employees have to say and try to help them become successful at Luminovo, no matter the role.
Luminovo's culture is well thought-out and, to say the least, the best company culture I've ever experienced. Quite a handful of people have been on the team since the beginning, which I think speaks volumes about the culture.
Founders:
The founders are very open to feedback, approachable, never hesitate to acknowledge when things don't go well, and do everything within their capacity to change the situation based on the feedback they receive.
Enforcing Changes:
Luminovo is a flat organization, so enforcing changes is easy. Most decisions are usually RFC-driven. Anyone (interns included) can write down thoughts on how things could be improved and get comments from interested people. If a consensus is reached on the next steps, it'll almost immediately be kickstarted by whoever is responsible. Honestly, that's exactly how it is.
Language:
English is the de facto language for all internal communications, despite being based in Germany—which for me was a relief since I relocated to work here. Building a welcoming atmosphere was a vital priority because the employees are from diverse nationalities and locations. This wasn't just something promised; it was always done.
If a non-german speaker stepped into a room in the office with all German speakers, everyone immediately switched to English to make just that one person feel very welcome, and everyone did it happily. This happened every time, and every one was intentional about it.
People:
There are also really smart people on the team, and you'll have the opportunity to learn a lot from them. Never will you ever feel that you’re asking a dumb question. Instead, people are very happy to support you.
Events:
Luminovo hosts yearly company hangouts, and every team hosts multiple in-person team retreats throughout the year. Each of these sessions helped build a strong sense of belonging across the team and made working with them much easier after these events.
In every remote setting, it can be very easy to build a false picture of how people are, but when you meet them in person you learn more about them. After each of these team events, I felt I got to know my colleagues better, which had the positive effect of never hesitating to reach out if I ever had a question.
Conclusion:
While working with the team, I made many great connections, many of whom I'm still in active communication with. Indeed, it was the best place I've ever worked until I left.
This isn't a con. However, depending on your career priorities, it could be a place to stay long-term or mid-term. Nonetheless, irrespective of how long you stay, you'll have a quality impact in the electronics industry and learn a lot - giving feedback, taking feedback, harnessing and improving your skills, communicating better, and much more.
The electronics space is very technical, and based on the company's current stage, some can consider it very niche. Unfortunately, if you're dead set on doing something that's directly used by lots of people, Luminovo might not be a tremendous fit at the moment (things are changing, though ;)).
However, if you're looking for something that has the potential to influence a large industry but could be used by just a few people, then Luminovo will be a great fit.
I am grateful for the enriching experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Luminovo to those seeking a workplace that values its people and strives for greatness.
I have the pleasure of being part of Luminovo since more than two years, and it has been an exceptional experience so far. This company truly stands out as a fantastic employer in many ways.
I feel fortunate to be part of such a forward-thinking and supportive team and would highly recommend Luminovo to anyone seeking a rewarding work experience.
Luminovo is backed by top-tier investors and the Founders & team have a great standing in the (Munich) startup scene.
Luminovo wants employees to be in control of their work-life integration and therefore offers a range of options, including flexible working hours and the choice to work in a fully remote, hybrid, or in-office setup.
One can also make use of additional unpaid vacation days in addition to the 28 days of paid vacation per year for full-time employees.
This flexibility allows Luminerds to tailor their work environment to suit their individual needs.
Luminovo understands that every professional journey is unique, and every employee is encouraged to shape their own career paths. The support provided by managers is exceptional: they act as mentors, offering guidance and resources to help navigate the diverse opportunities within the company. This emphasis on personalized progression not only allows for professional fulfillment but also ensures that each employee can contribute their best to the collective success of Luminovo.
Psychological safety is the cornerstone of Luminovo's team culture. The emphasis on open communication, respect for diverse opinions, and a non-judgmental atmosphere creates a space where team members feel comfortable taking risks and expressing their ideas.
All Luminerds are recognized not only as employees, but as individuals that also have goals, struggles, and responsibilities outside of work.
The leadership team at Luminovo is approachable and visionary, which is extremely motivating. The two Founders form a perfect tandem and I appreciate how they are humble and ambitious at the same time. They are incredibly smart, and they care deeply about Luminovo and the team.
Luminovo provides high-quality equipment to ensure everyone has the tools they need to be productive in their individual role & work setup.
This includes laptop, headsets, home-office equipment, keyboards, ...
Why only 4/5 stars then? While the office is very cozy, spacious enough, and in a great location (Maxvorstadt), I wish it had more natural light and a more office-like productive feel to it.
The work culture at Luminovo is unparalleled. The team consists of highly talented and motivated individuals who are not only excellent at what they do, but also incredibly supportive and collaborative. The open communication channels and emphasis on transparency create a positive and very dynamic work environment.
Luminovo provides competitive salaries (benchmarked annually), virtual stock options, customizable mental health benefits, child care support, and more.
As a female employee that joined Luminovo right after university, I can confidently say that I have felt a genuine sense of inclusion and respect, regardless of gender, age, or position.
As someone who got bored at the end of every three-months internship in the past, Luminovo has kept me on my feet all throughout the past two years. Everything at Luminovo keeps evolving and so far, we were always able to align my learning goals with the progression Luminovo needed (in terms of speed & trajectory).
Tbh mostly everything while I know this is probably not super helpful. I started in another department and after learning a lot. We discussed where else I could learn as much as possible with the capability and knowledge I have, and now I joined the People team. I love it here so much and can highly recommend working for Luminovo before doing anything else to improve your quality of work tremendously.
I think there is not much going on in terms of ecological topics, but in a very modern and efficient startup this is not really a topic tbh.
- Culture of learning and giving feedback. Take psychological safety very seriously.
- Willing to try out new things on the technical side keeping the tech stack and the work very interesting for software engineers.
- Extremely friendly team
- Big vision
Offenheit, Geschwindigkeit mit der wir Sachen machen, tolle Kolleg*innen
Das Büro
Alle sind nett und hilfsbereit zueinander. Das Thema Psychological Safety wird wirklich gelebt und ich möchte es nicht mehr missen.
Jeder redet positiv über die Firma, wenn es Missstände gibt, dann werden die einfach offen angesprochen.
Start-up ist natürlich start-up, aber man hat viele Freiheiten. Wenn man Mittags mal zum Arzt muss dann ist das so und auch kein Problem. Mal vom Urlaubsort arbeiten und "remote office" machen? Gar kein Problem!
Definitiv gegeben. Wurde sehr freundlich aufgenommen und alle sind ernsthaft interessiert das es einem gut geht.
Man ist sehr interessiert wie es einem geht und sollte mal was sein wird man jederzeit gehört und es wird sich Zeit genommen um die Themen zu besprechen.
Während wir top aktuelle Laptops bekommen und neuester Software arbeiten, ist das Büro sicher nicht "best in class". Viele arbeiten vom Home Office was auch unterstützt wird, aber das Büro ist sicher ein Negativpunkt den man anbringen kann.
Habe noch nie erlebt das etwas im geheimen diskutiert wird, oder das man von Entscheidungen der Gründer überrascht wird. Ganz im Gegenteil, üblicherweise ist alles sehr transparent und man kann jederzeit Fragen / Gedanken anbringen.
Vergleichen mit vergleichbaren Start-ups, sehr passend. Bei Grosskonzernen lässt sich sicher mehr verdienen.
Hier wird (richtigerweise) grosser Wert drauf gelegt! Das sind nicht leere Phrasen sondern ein ernsthaftes Anliegen der Gründer.
Definitiv. Kann mir meine Aufgaben recht Freigestalten und jederzeit eigene Ideen einbringen.
- I have never seen so many young, talented and motivated people in one place. In my opinion, the best part about the company.
-Really innovative ideas paired with deep knowledge. A company with enormous growth potential
- Versatile and exciting tasks, you will experience and learn something new every day.
- Flexible time and task allocation
- Culture of proactivity
Working hours can be long and it is expected to go the extra mile - however, in my case this was communicated transparently in the application process.
The culture is the best I have ever had at a company. Everyone wants to move forward together, learn something and make a difference. The employees are aware of this and therefore willing to go the extra mile. There is a real culture of proactivity.
Longer working hours may well occur - for some reason the long days didn't feel that exhausting though. Maybe this is due to the startup culture and flat-hierarchy of the company.
An extremely strong learning curve is possible and employees are encouraged through various 1:1's and team workshops. Everyone has to think about the long-term career opportunities for themselves - but is encouraged to do so in personal 1:1's with the founders.
Industry-standard
I have never seen so many young, talented and motivated people in one place. In my opinion, the best part about the company
A culture of feedback, open communication, OKR's, 1:1's and team-retros. Really cool to experience the continuous team-alignment. Hope that the company can maintain this culture with the upcoming growth.
Versatile and exciting tasks, you actually experience and learn something new every day.
Ich fand es toll, dass mir Luminovo den Freiraum gegeben hat um nicht nur auf professioneller Ebene sondern auch auf persönlicher Ebene zu wachsen! Jeder kann seine eigenen Schwerpunkte legen und zu Beginn sagen, an welchen Fähigkeiten man gerne am meisten arbeiten würde.
Tolles Miteinander unter den Kollegen, alle wahnsinnig freundlich und offn
Passt perfekt, wenn die Workload mal höher ist unterstützen die Kollegen immer genre
Monatliche Team events und weekly team lunch, oft Treffen außerhalb der Arbeitszeiten
Tolle Vorgesetzte welche sehr offen für Feedback sind aber auch selbst aktiv alle zwei Wochen Rückmeldung zu der eigenen Arbeitsweise und Ergebnissen liefern!
Man kann super offen über alles sprechen
Durch die Startup Atmosphäre wahnsinnig spannende und vielfältige Aufgaben!
Aufgaben und Verantwortlichkeit.
Gehalt noch kompetitiver machen.
Spannend!
Optimal. "Get your shit done not 5-to-9 bullshit". Kollegen helfen auch dabei wenn du nicht mehr weiterweißt
Es ist überwältigend wieviel man von den Kollegen lernen kann. Eine perfekte Mischung von gemeinsamen und verschiedenen Charakterauszügen.
Respektvoll, emphatisch, eigentlich spielt Alter keine Rolle!
Professionell, hilfsbereit, motivierend, inspirierend.
Bequemes Office bei Karslplatz, in der Nähe von vielen wichtigen Orten, wie Shops, Gyms,...
Offen!
Kompetitiv
Voll!
Als Engineer werde ich da immer mit neuen Aufgaben konfrontieret. Man kann soviel lernen!
Luminovo wirbt nicht nur mit Start-up Kultur sondern lebt sie auch. Konstruktive Verbesserungsvorschläge sind jederzeit willkommen. Von Anfang an bekommt man Verantwortung und hat somit die Möglichkeit wirklich Veränderung zu schaffen.
So verdient kununu Geld.
