Lighthouse, the 25 year old start-up you should not risk your career with
Pros
Immediate co-workers and peers are very talented individuals with a lot of potential. The organisation has the potential to perform, but sadly does not.
Cons
Recent reorganisations and redundancies destroyed the organisation, particularly within EMEA - internally and externally. Over recruitment and decline in the economy warranted a smaller workforce, but the leadership team seemingly didn't assess the impact to the already vulnerable business. Ill thought out redundancies, and no forward vision eroded trust, community and more importantly recurring revenue. Customers hesitate to partner due to repeated loss of key team members. Six months on from the reorg and heads are still in the sand. There is a culture of reward being 'keeping your job' as oppose to investing in people and recognising talent. Work-life balance is challenging, with benefits/compensation uncompetitive (you don't even get sick leave here!). Stack-ranking for performance reviews always means someone has to take one for the team each year. Zero opportunity for career development, or personal development. As a US business you can expect D&I to extend to the US only.... bit like the World Series.
