Pros

Remote first office that easily handles the challenges of being remote. Which, for LHL aren't really challenges. At this point, this office works remotely, and is optimized to do so. Unlimited PTO after the first year is fantastic. Their are no egos here. None. Leadership is outstanding, compassionate, and most of all some of the smartest and hardest working people I have ever been around.

Cons

Unlimited PTO cuts both ways. It takes getting used to. 401k is not matched at this time.

Pros

I started with Lighthouse Life in April 2020 -at the height of early-Covid. I was the first marketing hire, and the first person to be onboarded after the company went fully remote. The team made my onboarding unbelievably smooth. They were collaborative, supportive, and incredibly fun to work with. And since then, it's only gotten better. The culture emphasizes being a "hand raiser" - sharing ideas, trying new things, and above all, having a bias to action. If you become a Lighthouse Life Keeper, you'll hear about our "bias to action" frequently. And you'll know its true, because you'll live it. We embrace being a startup. While for some companies this means they have ping pong tables and game consoles and couches, for us it means we experiment, we ship MVPs, we collaborate, and we charge head-first into the unknown, fully confident that we'll figure out the solution. We run on a different organizational operating system than most companies. Not that one is better than another inherently, but if you come here looking for a matrixed, GE-type organizational model, you probably won't like working here. But if you are interested in a "fail fast" and "ship it" model, you'll fit right in. This is the most fun I've ever had professionally, and it just keeps getting better.

Cons

The only downsides I can think of relates to what I mentioned above. I don't believe there is a "superior" operating system for a company, but I do think different operating systems work better for different types of companies. If you are accustomed to, and have worked exclusively in, large organizations with many layers of management and a lack of personal accountability to anything other than what's in your job description, this might be an uncomfortable place for you. But if you thrive in a test/measure/iterate environment that embraces uncertainty, and you enjoy putting in the work to figure out the best way to accomplish a goal - whether it is in your job description or not - you'll probably fit right in.

Pros

Working at Lighthouse Life, you feel like family. They provide amazing benefits, and treat their employees with the upmost respect. They allow a perfect work/life balance that you wont experience elsewhere. My favorite thing about working here is the transparency and equality. Upper management always debriefs you on everything happening within the company, and everyone is treated equally. They are completely open to suggestions, and you will always feel your voice is heard. If you are given the opportunity, definitely apply here!

Cons

None....absolutely none....but it made me enter at least 5 words.
