Pluspunten

There were some really great people working here.

Minpunten

Definitely see the review called "Challenging" for a descriptive and accurate review. There are agencies where there's collaboration, and there are agencies solely run by the account side. Lightstream is the latter. With a few exceptions, many AEs had no agency/marketing experience before working here and had complete run of the show. Despite having many talented people, their work and input were generally disregarded or at least vetoed. It's unfortunate because many of them could really have made the agency shine. Overall, the thinking was completely backwards and thoughtful strategy was barely used - instead campaigns were tired, based on industry examples/competitors, and/or reused from client to client. The outright disrespect of many employees was appalling. Everything is siloed, and there's no productive communication or communication at all at times- despite being in the communications industry. And favorites, favorites, favorites! Plus, poor investments abound. But if you want to work where the partners and their spouses are head honchos/given promotions and take over positions, this is the place to go! Also it'd be interesting to see how their rating here ever changes if current employees weren't asked to write them vs anyone independently deciding to write them.

Pluspunten

I really enjoy working with such a supportive and talented team that brings out the best in each other. There are opportunities to challenge yourself, mentor others and really take ownership of your area of expertise. The hybrid work situation is a plus for my busy family.

Minpunten

Nothing to report for cons.

Pluspunten

Interesting work and clients, lots of learning and growth opportunities. Talented and friendly creative team with many opportunities for close collaboration. Good pay.

Minpunten

Very challenging work with ridiculous turnaround times. The result is very little work-life balance - working nights/weekends is to be expected. Very little support or backup for writers, so you need to be extremely independent from day 1. This is a high-burnout company.
