Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The psychological safety, the transparency, the honesty, the opportunity. I really love it here.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

For me, there's nothing that I don't like.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

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.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

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.

Image

In the industry, the image is great, and also with other startups in the startup ecosystem, I think Luminovo has gotten a name.

Work-Life-Balance

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.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I would say I don't really know if we are doing anything, so maybe we just have to get more transparent about this.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

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.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

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.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

This has been nothing but excellent for me. My manager is the best manager I've worked with, by far.

Arbeitsbedingungen

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.

Kommunikation

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.

Gehalt/Benefits

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.

Gleichberechtigung

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.

Interessante Aufgaben

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.

Perfect Place for Young Talents

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

While the office is located 3 min walk from Englischer Garten it would be nice if there was a shower, so that one could go for a jogging before and/or after work. Would be also nice to have some room for workout.

I literally struggle to write something else here, because I am excited about coming to the office every day.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The first and only company with Psychological Safety that actually works: you can freely speak your mind and raise concerns about business and/or your personal life and I promise you, nobody will ever judge you. At Luminovo, speaking about harsh and uncomfortable truths/problems/concerns is being promoted and rewarded, regardless of your leveling (good tip for your interview process). Psychological Safety means that people will be always put first and everyone follows this principle, both founders and employees. Psychological Safety has opened so many doors regarding the transparency, honesty and employee's loyalty which other companies are yet to discover. I have personally never experienced such level of transparency at any company, e.g. if you are struggling with some topic it's completely fine to let your manager know about it and you will definitely receive support and necessary knowledge.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

The Team. Extremely (I cannot emphasise this enough) smart people with bright minds. Luminovo overall is a very condensed place filled with overachievers and intellectually gifted individuals, both on the engineering and commercial sides. Working with Luminerds (employees of Luminovo) means giving and receiving feedbacks, trusting one another and having fun! It means being authentical yourself, staying humble and enjoying the time together. If you did not laugh, it was a wasted day.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Humble and down-to-earth founders. Founders are being treated in no different way than any other employee. There is little-to-no hierarchy at Luminovo. Founders themselves are individual contributors 50/50 and actually do the work alongside other Luminerds at the same desk, and NOT just focusing on "managing" others (even though "managing others" might not be a proper description of the relationship between individual contributors and their managers at Luminovo).

Gleichberechtigung

Diverse team with over 20 different nationalities! You will be welcomed and accepted.

Interessante Aufgaben

Startup with extremely bright and perspectival future: you will be working in high-end technological context and be encouraged to focus on things that create impact. You will never be encouraged to do stuff just because "somebody told you to do it" but be incentivised to use your own head and know the "why". Example: I questioned an approach of a solution that one of our founders proposed and I was given a shoutout for doing so in our weekly in front of the whole team.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Very good work atmosphere, that meets the balance between performance orientation and rooms for mistakes while always being fun.

Work-Life-Balance

I mean, a fast-growing startup is probably not the place to go if you want to optimize for free time, but luminovo provides quite some flexibility and freedom to schedule working hours according to individual needs.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Definitely a healthy mentality of supporting each other

Vorgesetztenverhalten

I had an excellent manager, who always had my personal growth in mind and was very good at providing regular feedback.

Kommunikation

Overall excellent, asynchronous communication style, while I believe the company vision could be communicated better visually.

Well-thought-out company culture, with very smart and wonderful people

4,7
Empfohlen
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2023 im Bereich Forschung / Entwicklung in München gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

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.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

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.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

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.

Image

Luminovo is backed by top-tier investors and the Founders & team have a great standing in the (Munich) startup scene.

Work-Life-Balance

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.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

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.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

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.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

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.

Arbeitsbedingungen

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.

Kommunikation

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.

Gehalt/Benefits

Luminovo provides competitive salaries (benchmarked annually), virtual stock options, customizable mental health benefits, child care support, and more.

Gleichberechtigung

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.

Interessante Aufgaben

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.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

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.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Anspruchvoll, aber fair und transparent.

Image

In der Startup-Szene inzwischen für die Qualität und den hohen Anspruch des Teams bekannt.

Work-Life-Balance

Es gibt enorm viel zu tun – aber ich entscheide selbst, wann und wie ich meine Arbeit erledige. Stehende Zeitblocker (z.B. von 16-20 Uhr) für junge Eltern sind kein Problem und werden ohne weitere Thematisierung akzeptiert. (Die Person – 100% FTE – arbeitet dann häufig nach 20 Uhr noch.)

Gehalt/Benefits

Durch Mitarbeiterbeteiligungen (für unbefristet Angestellte) sehr attraktiv.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Generell recht junges Team.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

One-on-ones alle 2 Wochen. Anliegen werden behandelt, bis es eine Lösung gibt (es gibt kein "Wegignorieren")

Arbeitsbedingungen

Büro in Top-Lage. Inzwischen deutlich zu klein für alle KollegInnen. Aber die Hälfte der KollegInnen ist eh in ganz Deutschland, Europa und teilweise auch Afrika verteilt (entweder für ein paar Monate remote home office oder permanent dort lebend). Da ist man also ein wenig selbst für seine Arbeitsumgebung verantwortlich, wenn man den "remote job" annimmt.

Kommunikation

Fortschritte, Rückschläge, G&V, Pläne, Visionen... steht alles transparent zur Verfügung. Da jede unbefristet angestellte Person auch Anteile am Unternehmen hat (VSOP), werden auch die Investorenreportings mit den Angestellten geteilt. Politik / "going behind someones back" ist hochgradig verpönt.

Gleichberechtigung

Keinerlei Unterscheidung in der Behandlung von Menschen feststellbar, die weniger als 100 % FTE arbeiten. Auch PraktikantInnen/WerkstudentInnen (häufig auf 50 % o.ä.) sind "normale Teammitglieder". Flexible Elternzeitgestaltung möglich.

Interessante Aufgaben

Das Unternehmen wächst seit 2 Jahren stark. Es kommen immer neue Aufgaben dazu. Wenn einem hier langweilig wird, ist man ein bisschen selbst Schuld.
