      Thanks for your 5-star review! If there’s one word to describe our environment, lively is certainly one of them. We consider ourselves more of an established start-up at this stage, but we don’t want to lose sight of that start-up feel. After all, we still operate at the “speed of light”. To address your concern of favouritism, our approach to internal promotions is merit-based: we strive to promote those who perform well and who are ready for the next step. If you have concerns, we encourage you to bring this matter to your HRBP. Thanks again for your review.

      Pros

      Managers are really involved with their employees. The coaching and continuous discussions about performance and growth really inspires trust and makes you want to push to the maximum. Never enjoyed going to work this much, feel really good in the team and the company culture is insane!

      Cons

      It gets crazy at times so you need to be able to keep your head cool! There is always a lot to do, work hours can be long but you get appreciation for what you do. Work hard in this company and you will be rewarded.

      Great Opportunity, High Pressure

      Pros

      Lightspeed is a very fun company to work for with great values. In order to be successful it is important to have a positive attitude and a desire to overachieve. Benefits offered are great and most (if not all) are very friendly.

      Cons

      Performance driven, if you don't perform you will fall to the side. You are expected to work hard which includes many long days.

Our goal is to build careers and nurture talent, which has made us have ongoing conversations on how to best do that. We are feeling optimistic about the new initiatives about to come to light!
