Pros

Speaking for myself – The pay is amazing Collaboration is outstanding when time permits Various Teams within Lighthouse are tight nit groups, and it is nice to see

Cons

Project Management Team needs more direction and training on basic ediscovery workflows and understanding. Pay ranges are not in line with industry standards. | Culture is slowly pivoting from people-first culture to a bottom-line culture. "Smart Products" should not be called "Smart."

Don't Be Fooled By The High GD Rating

Pros

• They’re growing and the company is doing well. It’s great to have job security even in the middle of a pandemic. • If you're allowed to participate in them during your scheduled working hours (most SD employees are asked to consistently forego participation due to competing client needs), they have great internal programs like BEAM, WLEAD, RAFT, and Lighthouse Cares which are designed to connect employees, develop culture, and bolster morale. • They are very intentional and transparent about diversity hiring.

Cons

• The work/life balance is terrible. If you accept a job here, be prepared to enforce your own healthy boundaries because Lighthouse culture does not promote that in any way. For the sake of specificity, I’ll give you a few examples: one team in Service Delivery was asked to work 50-60 hours a week M-F and then flex in on at least one weekend day – this lasted for almost a year; another team was consistently asked to work overnight shifts to support unexpected client needs; and a director was hospitalized multiple times for work related stress (I know of at least 3 additional colleagues who have been similarly hospitalized for work related stress). I could go on because I know of dozens of similar stories, but I think you get the point. • It's a very chaotic environment. Department names, managers, roles, and job responsibilities pivot rapidly. In my time at Lighthouse, I've averaged a manager change every 5-6 months. • They are in the middle of a huge culture shift as a company, and not in a good way. High level individual contributors are leaving the company in record numbers and it's adding an incredible amount of stress to those that remain. So many people are leaving that employees are being asked to not send goodbye emails so as to not draw attention to the turnover.
