Pros

- Really nice people who enjoy being around one another and are always willing to help. - Lunch on wed, decent benefits, dogs!

Cons

Ok, I have been here a while. Loved it at first, have seen a lot. Now I have to say... These people have no idea what they're doing anymore. - The turnover this year has been ridiculous. What kind of company are you running? - Leadership, both middle and executive, are misguided and uncaring. Very little transparency about the company direction. Stop with the "lighthouse". - Politics rule. You have to play the game to win the prize. Less talented people are favored based on relationships, which creates a very fraudulent culture. Awful HR dept that definitely is not here to support us, especially the woman running it. They have made things up to get people out. - The comp is not great. Some people are making drastically more than others for doing the same work, which seems extremely unfair and biased. - There is absolutely no "career track" or advancement. No diversity.

Thank you for taking the time to send your feedback on to us. We appreciate hearing about your personal experience and are glad to learn that you like the people culture and some of our more unique work perks! ;-) We recognise that there are areas we need to make improvements on including compensation where we constantly aim to be both fair and competitive. We are currently mid-way through the Annual Salary Review and are conducting analysis such as Gender Pay Gap reporting. If there are specific concerns you have around fairness or preferential treatment of employees by peer/colleagues we 100% need to hear and action these. We would be happy to have a face to face meeting or alternatively we also have an anonymous Whistleblowing hotline that can be used if prefered. https://www.lighthouse-services.com/_StandardCustomURL/LHILandingPage.asp Once again thank you for the feedback, we take positive and negative feedback very seriously and are dedicated to making improvements.
