Pros

The work/life balance is okay depending on where in the company you are.

Cons

I joined Lighthouse partly because I couldn't find any bad reviews online. I thought it would be a stable, sensible career transition. Ha! What an absolute mess. They grew too fast, too quickly, and I was let go 7 months after I was hired. What an absolute scam. The second they are low on work or a little scared about the economy or afraid their bonuses will be smaller than usual, they will cut you no problem. There is no loyalty, so do not be bothered showing them any either. It doesn't matter that I liked my job or the people I work with because now I'm left explaining a random 7 month stint to other employers. It was clear that they had acquired too many smaller companies and were struggling to figure out how to braid all of them together. What was made abundantly clear is that the second they figure out how to eliminate anyone or anything just to make an extra $5, they will. If you like walking around with a machete 24/7 never knowing when you'll need to use it, this is the place for you. Everyone seems nice and polite, but it's all an act as is true of just about anywhere in corporate America. They don't actually care about people. Don't drink the kool-aid.

CEO and his hand picked cronies, good at taking care of each other at the cost of folks who do the actual work. Company stopped growing after current CEO took over the helm,
