Pros

LightStream is one of the best work environments I've been a part of. Speaking of being a part of something - Everyone here collaborates, communicates, helps each other out, and always works hard to meet deadlines for our clients. The company itself has a really cool history, and those well laid plans created a great business that continues to grow every year. Some pros that stand out to me: 1. Weekly thought sharing/future project discussion meetings 2. Lunch of Thursdays - We eat as a team (out, in, at the park, or just in the conference room) 3. Their commitment to forward thinking and personal development 4. A strong review process that provides great feedback for personal growth in your field 5. Fun group outings, happy hours, and team building event - They really celebrate success! 6. They are very in-tune with creating a work/life balance. Overall, my days here always go by quickly and I feel fulfilled knowing my job is important and that my successes are recognized.

Cons

We work really hard and have a lot of deadlines, but it makes the day go by really fast. It's never boring!

Pros

I really enjoy working with such a supportive and talented team that brings out the best in each other. There are opportunities to challenge yourself, mentor others and really take ownership of your area of expertise. The hybrid work situation is a plus for my busy family.

Cons

Nothing to report for cons.

Pros

Interesting work and clients, lots of learning and growth opportunities. Talented and friendly creative team with many opportunities for close collaboration. Good pay.

Cons

Very challenging work with ridiculous turnaround times. The result is very little work-life balance - working nights/weekends is to be expected. Very little support or backup for writers, so you need to be extremely independent from day 1. This is a high-burnout company.
