Pros

LookThink has succeeded in building a company that can do both design and development quite well, and therefore the process and the results are almost always high-quality. This inherent collaboration between creative, technical, and strategic perspectives makes for a great working environment where all roles are valued equally. Not to mention the projects are interesting and span a wide array of industries and technologies. You will never be bored at LookThink. Culturally, LookThink retains the energy and vigor of a small company, but has also established the structure and process of a mature organization. In my view, a broad range of personalities can be successful at LookThink. If you want to have colleagues who are also friends, there's plenty of relationships like that. But if you're someone who prefers to keep work separate from your personal life, that's perfectly acceptable too. LookThink values a supportive, inclusive environment for the whole team.

Cons

Like most companies of it's type and size, LookThink is still figuring out how to best convey it's value to the market. With technologies constantly changing, market position is a moving target that can be tough to nail down. Clients that work with LookThink realize that value almost every time, but it's sometimes difficult for potential clients to understand it. I fully expect that over time, their value and specialization will become more evident as happy clients spread the word.

Pros

The company is fully remote and it’s up to you if you want to work from their DC office or home, so it’s nice to have that flexibility. You’re constantly learning new things on a daily basis, which is exciting and the people you work with are very talented and bring a lot to the table.

Cons

Regardless of your role, you will be in meetings all day, everyday. If you’re not in a meeting, everyone can see your calendar and someone will either pull you in a meeting or set a meeting up with you. Because you’re spending so much unnecessary time in meetings, you don’t start your actual work until later in the day, leading to a very poor work/life balance. When you bring your concerns to leadership, it’s pretty much on you to figure it out and leadership will say they are helping you but they do everything but help you/support you. There was also a lot of miscommunication and leadership would never be honest with us on things. So many people kept quitting the company during my time and leadership would be awkward when they were asked why so many people kept leaving. There are also employees that have been here much longer than others and those employees are looked upon as “favorites” since they agree with everything leadership says.
