Pros

There aren't a lot of pros for this place.

Cons

When you get a job here, you're offered starting pay that is not competitive (despite the fact that they say it is), and you're instructed not to talk about your salary with your coworkers or you *will* get fired. That's because Lighthouse does not like to follow the rules. This company has a long history of shady business, poor human resources division, and nepotism (hiring friends over people who are qualified). The environment here is toxic and the turn-over rate is high because they either burn you out (they told me if I wasn't working a 60-hour week I wasn't pulling my weight), or pin the blame on a client-facing mistake on you and fire you so the board of directors is satisfied. They don't have a single shred of ethics. DO NOT WORK HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL HEALTH.
