Pros

- Probably some of the best management I've had, they are extremely considerate, hard-working and always take time to check on what we need and how we are doing. I've been apart of the job market for quite awhile, and it's refreshing to be apart of a company where there is a huge emphasis on employee well-being - Unlimited paid time off. I've never asked and not received, there is an emphasis on making sure that there's a good balance on work-life-balance. - Pay is great - Atmosphere is great. Everyone that works for Lightspeed is extremely considerate and kind. We are all team players and care about each other. Especially the IT team. I feel welcomed and that I can be myself. - Perks are also great, the Montreal office has unlimited snacks and beverages. There are catered lunches, which just the extra touch to show that Lightspeed's employees are one of their top priorities. - The work is also fun. I don't feel like I'm doing mindless work that is not beneficial to the company. I feel like I am an addition to the team that they need and they are always providing me with additional work (not taxing) that will help keep me occupied and not bored.

Cons

I don't see any cons at the moment.

Pros

-Unlimited PTO - Use this, the company allows it. This is the main reason I stayed at this company for so long. If they did not offer it, I would have been gone within minutes.

Cons

-Low pay- the company makes up for not paying you by offering unlimited PTO - They keep switching from Atena to Cigna, Kind of annoying when you already have an established PCP - Constant layoffs, its a running joke in this company that when you become a Team Lead you are about to get laid off. - Pay increase- Also it looks like when you start making too much money, prepare to get laid off. Accepting pay increases comes with less job security - This job you need a lot of adaptability- you never know if you might come in and you have an increased amount of duties because they laid someone off - this increase of duties does NOT come with an increased salary/hourly wage either. You are just expected to take on other peoples job duties for nothing in return. -Literally everyone is figuring out things on the spot, there are no tools provided to you to guide you through things. You just gotta figure it out as you go. - The company asks for more than they give. - The company has way too many meetings. You will end up sitting in meeting listening to other departments speak about things that have NOTHING to do with you. Time is not spent well here, time is wasted. - The CEO is very boastful and braggy, like telling us things about his personal life that doesnt pertain to anything related to work in any way, shape or form disguised as " fun facts" when its just a chance to brag.
