Pros

Working here was great. A lot of forward thinking, bleeding edge technologies, and some really smart and talented people. Worked on some big brand names, great experience overall.

Cons

Unfortunately on the business side of things, mismanagement led to the office closing down.

Sadly the honest negative reviews are all true

Pros

A handful of exceptionally good developers a scared to leave project manager and maybe a under valued young designer who is using LIghtmaker as a stepping stone.

Cons

Too many to list, this is a 'has been' name dropping agency with a dishearteningly fake buddy buddy atmosphere. Those running the show in both U.K. And USA offices are clueless smoosers with a desperate need to keep their jobs but the water is getting huger around their feet on this sinking ship. They work with old employees who now run vibrant agencies and try to make it seem like it's being done by internals. They lie to clients about working with 3rd parties just to broaden their profits.
