Hi, thanks for your review and the impact you are making at Lightspeed. It's great to hear that you appreciate the flexibility that Lightspeed offers given its global footprint. The flipside of a large globally dispersed organization is not being able to see those outside of your core region in person very often - however we strive to ensure people feel connected through as many touch points as possible and when possible, getting people together to connect, collaborate, learn and socialize.

Hi, thanks for your review and for the contribution you made during your time with us. Thanks for all the positive feedback on your experience! In terms of the cons, our aim is to create a unified and inclusive culture that values the contributions of all employees, regardless of their office, region or initial company of acquisition - given we have grown at pace in the past few years, we know that this will take time. Your feedback is valuable as we strive to strengthen our culture across the organization.
