Pros

- Fun team building events but most of the company doesn't participate - Employees are insanely smart - Free Parking - Free Alcohol on Fridays

Cons

- Management is very inexperienced and doesn't know how to properly manage their employees - Treatment isn't the same for every employee. Favorites are definitely present at Lightmaker - Sales team greatly under sales projects and then berates employees for not being able to make it work in that budget - Zero transparency into what the company is doing, how the company is doing and where the company is going - Pay is under industry normal - Turnover is extremely high - Developers are worked into the ground and not treated like equals - Don't expect your boss to stand up for you - Training is non-existent - Speed is all that matters and clients end up footing the bill for the lack of Quality

Pros

Great people and great culture

Cons

Owner didnt know how to manage money between businesses and invested all profits into side project which made our agency crumble as soon as we hit a snag with lack of projects.
