Pros

Every day you get to try to solve a mountain of problems!

Kontras

At first glance LightSail's mission seems admirable. However once you have a peak behind the curtain you realize that it's all flawed, completely broken, and not even trying to be what they set out to be. The product itself is frustrating, unreliable and technically embarrassing. The office environment is extremely toxic, upper management plants seeds of drama in a bed of secrecy and fertilizes it with curmudgeon and a lack of loyalty. The resulting batch of weeds is constantly entangled in confusion, paranoia and a complete lack of direction. It became clear pretty early on that the product was not sustainable, making every day a losing battle. All advice that was given on behalf of our customers was ignored in favor of seeking false accolades from financially and politically powerful entities. They don't care if LightSail works, they just want to cash in on the nobility of the concept. For anyone considering working at LightSail. Let me repeat, this is a toxic company that eats it's own and will trample even their fiercest champions.

Pros

Coworkers: brilliant, hard working, passionate, and genuinely kind Hands on experience with marketable skills- Salesforce, Zendesk, JIRA, Wordpress, etc Working on a product that promotes literacy is rewarding, emotionally speaking

Kontras

You will consistently be overworked and underpaid. Stressful environment that hinders any opportunity for healthy office culture. Management is equally stressed/overworked, and ill equipped to improve situation for their employees. Product is flawed on a fundamental level, and developer resources are tragically scarce. Employees are prevented from contributing to the bigger picture, and strict dividing lines between teams make it difficult to take personal ownership of the product. Lack of career expansion opportunity, as there's far too much work for your own strictly outlined role, and no remaining time to work on different projects. There is a complete lack of transparency: employees have no legitimate qualitative/quantitative insight into the state of the company. I suspect the company will be sold in the near future. Each and all of these have been brought up to management numerous times, only to be acknowledged by token efforts that failed to produce results.
