Pros

- Smart co-workers with diverse backgrounds - Nice office space - Work from home policy if not on client site

Cons

- The Lighthouse group does not work on real data science problems - Difficult to collaborate with others in group and use state-of-the-art tools/technologies because client data is often very sensitive - Most managers/directors are only focused on their own career growth and care very little about associates/senior associates - Very little focus on technical development and training - Not much opportunity to be promoted as a technical expert unless you suck up to MDs/Partners

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
