Nice tech stack, poor leadership, toxic office politics - werkgeversreview Software Engineer bij Lighthouse

The best part of working at Lighthouse is seeing the immediate impact of what we build. Our customers are literally glued to our BI tools—it’s their "source of truth" for making decisions every day. Whether we're working with massive global chains or unique boutique brands, knowing that our tech is that essential to their business is a huge motivator. The culture is amazing, and the leadership genuinely cares about us. It’s a fast-paced environment with constant learning opportunities, and you’re surrounded by colleagues who are just as passionate as you are. It’s rare to find a place that scales this quickly without losing that human connection.

Because we’re growing so fast and adding new features, integration quality can sometimes be a challenge. It’s a known pain point, but the good news is that we’re actively working on it and leadership is prioritizing the fixes. If you’re okay with a "work in progress" vibe while we scale, you’ll fit right in.

Lighthouse is the poster child for companies that exist solely to put Profits over People. Making this company an extremely good example to educate people on the topic

I had a highly negative experience with OTA Insight (now Lighthouse). After I raised legitimate concerns and attempted to resolve a billing/invoice dispute professionally, I received a cease and desist letter in which the company attempted to claim that I “stole” from them. To be clear: I did not steal anything. I escalated concerns because I was receiving communications from multiple jurisdictions indicating potential compliance issues. I relayed those messages to OTA Insight/Lighthouse in good faith, because I believed it was important for them to be aware and correct anything that needed correction. Instead of addressing the issues, they responded by claiming that my remarks about them being “not compliant” were a lie, even though I was simply repeating what I was being told by outside sources and trying to handle the situation responsibly. This situation was extremely time-consuming, required extensive documentation, and I billed them for the time spent addressing it. They then refused to pay the invoice. In summary: I raised concerns in good faith I documented everything I billed for time spent handling a serious issue They refused to pay They escalated to intimidation tactics via a cease & desist and false theft claims I would strongly recommend that anyone considering doing business with this company get everything in writing, document everything, and be prepared for aggressive tactics if you ever dispute anything
