Pros

- The Pros here are shrinking all the time.

Cons

-Never have I ever encountered so many people who get away with, and are rewarded for saying, "it's not my job". If you enjoy begging people to do the bare minimum or help you with a task because you are buried, this is the place for you. - Employees, for the most part, have a zero tolerance attitude here towards learning new skills or understanding how different departments here can be engaged to ultimately create a successful outcome for a client - It's a bit concerning when employees can tell you the last live show they saw in Seattle, all the names of the band members, their history, the DNA makeup of their children, the set list for their last 40 shows, and how many live shows they've done and exactly which venue they played at but they can't recall a simple eDiscovery workflow they've been exposed to repeatedly...over...and over....and over......and over.....and over again. What's more frustrating is when they get a raise due to it because they "fit with Lighthouse's culture" - Go read the book "Five Dysfunctions of a Team". Lighthouse is living, breathing proof of that every single day. - People are promoted here based on the fact that they showed up the day before and the day before that. Hardly any of it is based on actual leadership potential. - The abuse of Flex PTO is RAMPANT! Worst thing ever invented. - If you are of minority status, check that box when you apply, because you will be a SHOE IN! Lighthouse can't get enough. Nevermind actually hiring people on merit, they've gotta check those diversity and inclusion boxes! - If I have to hear one more thing about how the "reduction in force" at beginning of 2023 wasn't "fair", and was "harsh" and "we didn't even get to say goodbye to people", I'm gonna lose my mind. This is work. You come into work to do a job. It's not an after-hours quilting circle.

Pros

Great PTO and WFH. Amazing people i worked with. Truly the reason I stayed as long as I did. The PAC (HR) team js helpful and cares.

Cons

Layoffs are every year. You need to be billable but sales staff has been decimated. I pretty well knew I was next to be chopped. Since the CEO change, it has been down hill. Management changed and it went from feeling welcome to feeling like a burden. Leadership has changed a lot and has become distant and cold. I went from feeling like I was valued to just being low hanging fruit for an easy cost cut while the leader got promoted.
