Amazing place to work for

Pros

This company managed to group together the best engineers I have ever met. It is the place where I had the greatest professional development in my career. More than that, we really formed a group of close and personal friends. We meet quite often with our families, and I'm in close relationships even with people that already left the company. Product wise, the company is very solid. The apps are the money engine that allows the company to take bets. The bet is now on AI. It seems promising, but no one knows what the future holds.

Cons

AI technology made our technological advantage smaller. Complicated tasks that used to be very hard to do, are now relatively 'easy'. But I hope that the company's experience in this field will make us lead the market.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re incredibly proud of the people who make up Lightricks - it means a lot to hear that the team has been such a meaningful part of your personal and professional journey over the years. Building lifelong friendships alongside professional growth is exactly the kind of environment we strive for. You're absolutely right that the AI space is evolving rapidly, and with that comes both opportunity and challenge. While some tasks have become more accessible, we believe that our experience, deep tech capabilities, and creative approach will continue to set us apart, and help us lead the next wave of innovation. Thank you for being such a core part of Lightricks!

A formerly great company that has lost its way!

Pros

The grounds are gorgeous and the company offers tons of helpful perks - like an accountant to help file your taxes, stocked kitchens, gym membership, etc. The vibe is overall fun and the offices are clean. Lots of good people work there.

Cons

Whoa! Lots! The company is SUPER cliquey, with the company consistently pushing the idea that your coworkers are your family - which is just so not true. Your family is your family, not your coworkers. They don't give raises- even when you get a promotion, it won't come with a raise unless you continue to "prove" yourself or whatever that means! Only people who are the company favorites and therefore given the opportunity to excel are considered superstars and given raises. In addition, if you aren't a favorite in the company, HR will effectively ignore you. If you have an issue with your manager, HR will always defer to the manager - preferring to fire the complaining employee than discipline the manager. They consistently mistreat employees returning from maternity leave. In addition, they haven't had a successful product since their first, not sure this company will ever IPO. And lots more. Basically, Lightricks may seem all nice and shiny from the outside, but there's a ton of dysfunction brewing right underneath the function.

Thanks so much for leaving your feedback. It’s nice to hear you appreciated the greenery of our offices, generous perks, and overall vibe. We’re sorry to hear that despite all of these positives, you felt like the company could be a bit clique-y or that certain managers picked favorites. This isn’t the type of environment we’d like to foster and do our best to recognize all of our employees for their hard work and dedication to their jobs. The past few weeks, with the integration and release of multiple new AI features, have highlighted the company’s dedication to constantly improving our products and services and believe that this will lay the groundwork for our future as a leader in the creator economy. However, just like any successful company, we’ll have to make some pivots along the way to make sure we’re constantly staying ahead of the curve. We recognize that to make all of this happen, we need to invest in all of our employees, and give each and every one resources and support to develop not only professionally, but personally as well.

Pros

If you want to enjoy luxurious food and high-end offices while enjoying watching company politics, and nothing else need to be done - that's the right place for you! the best show in town.

Cons

Many leave or get fired by the minute. guess what - performance is never the issue - those workers wanted to prove themselves, wanted to do something meaningful, but somehow failed in "playing the game" and they couldn't stay anymore. Ppl leave because they had enough, and realise how so little they developed their skills for the time that they spent in the company. The HR never care - they will find a replacement, yes, some like to come for a 2 years shift to see this un-real place.

We are saddened to hear about your negative experience at Lightricks. While we strive to encourage the growth of each and every employee, there is always room for improvement and we hope to do just that. Employee retention is also something we value greatly. Thank you for taking the time to give us your honest feedback. If you’d be open to discussing your experience further, we would really love to speak with you.
