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

-you're at the forefront of the AI video generation space -new tasks, initiatives, and products features are introduced every day so always something fresh to work on -Puts the human first, lots of perks such as generous stipends, -US office has had the culture constantly built up - snacks, flexible hybrid days in office, comfortable seating, fun monthly events like bowling and Yankee games. We've outgrown a couple offices in the short time the NYC office has existed so rapid growth is encouraging -Media companies are generally fun (work hard, play hard) environments -Quarterly on sites where the leaders and team gets together for updates

Cons

-constant shifts in focuses for the revenue department/things to sell without any notice. AI video gen may look completely different on a weekly basis -release notes are practically nonexistent and people find out about new features/releases as they go -sometimes communications get lost in translation across regions or feel forced -B2C org historically, so most senior stakeholders don't have much knowledge of the B2B space

Pros

- the people are priceless - on the forefront of AI, you get to deal with really cool and visual stuff - great benefits, food, office parties, wellness packages - hybrid policy with a great WLB - cool offices in a great location in Midtown

Cons

The co-working space gets a bit crowded at times, but other than that not really.
