Pluspunten
I am a relatively new hire to Lighthouse - in the past 6 months. Coming into the company I did not really know what to expect, but after the interview process, was very excited at the prospect of working with some of the folks who I interviewed with. After being here for the time that I have, I can safely say that I love coming to work each day. Working here has given me the opportunity to work on large, important eDiscovery cases - something that was sorely lacking in my previous job. During the interview process, someone told me that Lighthouse is a company that has a lot of smart people working on complex issues as a collaborative team. It is very true. The work is not easy, at all, but the challenge and opportunity to work on some of the issues that I do with the people that I have is well worth the hard work and time put in. Lighthouse very much has an entreprenaurial spirit associated with it - they love to hear about new ideas and ways to innovate. If you have ever worked at a large law firm (or any law firm) or large vendor, you know that new ideas are not always welcomed. Lighthouse is not like that, so be prepared to learn but also be prepared to innovate, teach and leave your comfort zone. Lastly - the work environment is awesome. Ping Pong table, snacks, drinks all at your disposal. It is great not needing to leave the office just to get a quick pick-me-up.
Minpunten
No job is perfect. Due to the nature of the industry, eDiscovery ebbs and flows in terms of client demands. If you are looking for a 9-5 job, I'd say you are looking at the wrong industry - not just the wrong company. Like I said above, I work hard each day - some days are longer than others, sometimes you need to work a weekend. To me, though, the payoff is worth it. Not everyone would agree. For the industry, the work/life balance seems very very reasonable thus far.
