Luminance AI

Learn a huge amount and work with very talented engineers. Absolutely loved the work. Huge respect for my coworkers, and I really enjoyed my time there with them, so I was very sad to have to leave. Got to present to the CEO frequently, which is a crazy experience.

Denied reasonable adjustments for autism without being given a reason, this then led me to have to quit my job and be unemployed for 3 months while having to pay rent. Strongly don't recommend for anyone with a disability.

I waited until we landed Luminance's biggest ever deal to ask, and then when I was immediately denied I felt completely devalued. In response to asking for the adjustments, I was moved off the team that I loved working on.

Burnout - was told and expected to work weekly unpaid overtime. The phrase 'unsustainable workload' was frequently raised by engineers in meetings. I saw someone work till 11pm most days unpaid, and when I asked him why, he said he shouldn't have.

Underpaid for your impact and workload - then got an offer for 40% higher elsewhere. No bonus or equity.

High turnover with mostly everyone leaving after 6 months to 2 years. 23 days holiday, which is lower than average, and you must use some during company shutdown.

Respect people with disabilities and understand they must give a reason for denying reasonable adjustments. Didn't want to work for an employer who disregards them. A 30 minute shift in my hours would've allowed me to stay doing the job I loved which I was told I was doing extremely well in. For someone with autism what may not seem much, hugely affects their whole day in and outside of work.
