Pros

- Great benefits for office-based employees, including a food delivery allowance. - WeWork passes provided for remote employees - Modern Apple hardware - Tech stack is very modern - The physical office spaces that remain are high-quality with great amenities.

Cons

- Layoffs are prevalent, particularly hitting teams from acquired entities. Staff turnover is significantly higher than in previous years, leading to low morale and widespread uncertainty. - Overall compensation is low for a tech company - Individual contributors constantly hit glass ceilings and feel pushed into management positions to advance in their career - Disparity in benefits and career advancements depending on your location. - On several occasions, certain locations were not paid on time - Feedback is not actioned. Most issues are well known by HR and senior leadership without any attempt at resolution. - AI is now being used as a direct replacement for employees rather than a productivity tool - The original company culture has eroded and been replaced with a very corporate yet haphazard strategy

Pros

The best part of working at Lighthouse is seeing the immediate impact of what we build. Our customers are literally glued to our BI tools—it’s their "source of truth" for making decisions every day. Whether we're working with massive global chains or unique boutique brands, knowing that our tech is that essential to their business is a huge motivator. The culture is amazing, and the leadership genuinely cares about us. It’s a fast-paced environment with constant learning opportunities, and you’re surrounded by colleagues who are just as passionate as you are. It’s rare to find a place that scales this quickly without losing that human connection.

Cons

Because we’re growing so fast and adding new features, integration quality can sometimes be a challenge. It’s a known pain point, but the good news is that we’re actively working on it and leadership is prioritizing the fixes. If you’re okay with a "work in progress" vibe while we scale, you’ll fit right in.

Pros

Lighthouse is the poster child for companies that exist solely to put Profits over People. Making this company an extremely good example to educate people on the topic

Cons

I had a highly negative experience with OTA Insight (now Lighthouse). After I raised legitimate concerns and attempted to resolve a billing/invoice dispute professionally, I received a cease and desist letter in which the company attempted to claim that I “stole” from them. To be clear: I did not steal anything. I escalated concerns because I was receiving communications from multiple jurisdictions indicating potential compliance issues. I relayed those messages to OTA Insight/Lighthouse in good faith, because I believed it was important for them to be aware and correct anything that needed correction. Instead of addressing the issues, they responded by claiming that my remarks about them being “not compliant” were a lie, even though I was simply repeating what I was being told by outside sources and trying to handle the situation responsibly. This situation was extremely time-consuming, required extensive documentation, and I billed them for the time spent addressing it. They then refused to pay the invoice. In summary: I raised concerns in good faith I documented everything I billed for time spent handling a serious issue They refused to pay They escalated to intimidation tactics via a cease & desist and false theft claims I would strongly recommend that anyone considering doing business with this company get everything in writing, document everything, and be prepared for aggressive tactics if you ever dispute anything
