      There doesn't seem to be a clear strategy to make Lightspeed products different or better than competitors Leaders in different verticals do not seem to communicate at all Lots of demotivated and miserable people

      Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for the impact you made during your time at Lightspeed. It's great to hear you enjoyed the benefits we had to offer. We try to ensure that we provide lots of opportunities for our people to provide general feedback and gather ideas. However it sounds like some skip-level meetings here may have helped to capture your feedback on issues. We take all feedback seriously and will follow up on this with leadership. It goes without saying we wish you all the best in your next chapter.

      Pros

      Somewhat flexible time off. Many wonderful colleagues.

      Cons

      General chaos. Lack of vision. Regularly rotating management. Management is evasive, and regularly talk to people like they don't matter. Stocks given in lieu of meaningful raises, but unvested shares are cancelled when relationship ends. Opportunities are very few, witnessed many people get passed over in favor of someone with less experience and ability. Time off regularly expected. Questions, different ways of looking at something, are not welcome Products are spread between so many platforms that efficiency is impossible, but employees are to blame when productivity suffers. Management makes cash-grab decisions that create more work and inconvenience customers.
