Where do I begin... - Anonymous employee Lightyear Capital Employee Review

Awesome culture coupled with a great tone at the top. WFH Fridays and generous WFH days offered throughout year. Firm is also WFH for the whole month of August which is a differentiating perk.

There are none to me.

Some of the people are nice (not many in upper management) Slight work/life balance Nothing else.

No opportunity for advancement, would rather hire out and pay that person double despite having less experience than promote a current candidate who's performance and experience is excellent. Senior management. The Managing Partner and the General Counsel as already named here are toxic, toxic individuals. Employment abuse was a frequent occurrence. They actually had to hire a coach specifically for the General Counsel. Managing partner makes disparaging remarks about other employees, very unprofessional, and needs training in leadership and social interaction skills. The General Counsel is the only person to report problems to and is the largest organizational issue. The culture is toxic from the top down. Also, no work from home at all. Archaic in many ways. Genuinely unhappy and mean people in leadership - who wants to be around that negativity?
