An Insider's view of Lighthouse (formerly OTA Insight)

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Our employees do their best work when they maintain an all-around balanced lifestyle, and our culture and policies reflect this fact. We offer Unlimited PTO and encourage everyone to actively use this benefit. Working extra hours is neither necessary nor encouraged, and our flexible work environment allows our people to mesh life with work!

Alec

Talent Acquisition Specialist

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

Because of COVID, the data that hotels used in the past is no longer relevant, and consumer behaviors they could previously rely on are gone. OTA Insight is tackling this problem by providing high-quality, immediate data on market trends and traveler patterns. Crucially, we also make this information quick and easy to find, interpret, and share.

Sheryl

Business Development Manager

How does the company support your career growth?

From the moment I joined OTA Insight, my manager was already tailoring my development to reflect my career goals through proactive training, supportive conversations, and reasonable yet challenging goal-setting. I was promoted after only 7 months with the company, and I have observed similar growth in other members across the organization!

Deanna

Senior Credit Collector

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We are driven by the passion and effort of our people. Our organization is flat to ensure interaction and problem solving across the teams and company. The responsibility of leaders is to foster a culture of curiosity, creativity and accountability. When our team members are supported, they are at their best. We aim to provide that support, always.

Dave

Chief Revenue Officer

What are some social events your company does?

While our company is virtually-oriented, we love to celebrate our international nature and give opportunities for our people to develop connections across the company. This is exemplified by our yearly team meetings in which the entire company comes together in a common location (ex. Portugal, Belgium) for collaboration and festivities alike!

Maternity, Paternity, and Short-Term Disability Leave: the company covers the full base salary of the employee for up to 6 weeks of maternity leave and 10 days of paternity leave, allowing both mothers and fathers to enjoy getting to know and taking care of their new children. The company also covers 100% of short-term disability insurance so that when the unexpected happens, our employees feel secure.

Other: we also offer tax commuter benefits, wellness memberships (such as ClassPass), and employee assistance programs. We offer a $500 work from home reimbursement for any WFH expenses as well!

Perks: We have company-wide events, an example of which being our Wellbeing Month; Wellbeing Month consists of a series of group activities (such as group yoga, cocktail sessions, etc.) and culminated in Detox Day, a day in which the entire company took the day off from work to relax, recover, and enjoy time with friends, family, and oneself.
