Pros
So many smart, talented, friendly people to work with every day trying to accomplish the same goal. Chances are if you don't know something, somebody else does and they are more than willing to help out.
Cons
- Lighthouse just acquired H5 less than a year ago. If you are on a team or are joining a department as a new employee or transfering and your new team meets any of the following criteria just be ready for hell on earth: -You've been promised high growth potential or opportunities for advancement -They are trying to consolidate with the other side (LH or H5) -They are growing quickly (either in terms of revenue which only stakeholders see the real benefit from around here, or an increase in headcount on the team, or an advancement in a certain technology) I am telling you to RUN because IT is going to get run like a total startup until people know what the hell they're doing. There will be no structure, organization, work/life balance, sanity, opportunities to vent, etc. - Questions get asked about your mental status if anyone is curious. I'm pretty sure that's illegal, but I'm pretty sure they've found some loophole - Management will lie to you and also play favorites - Hustle culture. If you feel like working 14 hour days this is definitely the place for you. And if not, expect to be looked at funny if you are in a department that promotes, encourages and demands that sort of mentality
