Hi, thanks for your review and contributions to Lightspeed so far in your career with us. It's great to hear you're enjoying the fast pace and learning a lot. If you feel that the sense of competition is veering into being a 'bad' way versus a motivating type of camaraderie, please feel free to reach out to your manager or People Business Partner for a conversation about it. We want all employees at Lightspeed to grow the career they want here and to feel empowered to thrive!

Pros

- stock options are plentiful, if currently not worth much they will grow in value - if in office food is included - unlimited PTO is nice - benefits are great - can move around internally - they love to promote internally - I can work from anywhere in the world remotely if I choose to (so long as I show up for my time zone)

Cons

- pay isn't great compared to other companies, I'm in leadership and still keep a second job to save enough to go on vacation. Due to the recent restructure, I also do the work of a regional manager and am paid and recognized as a lead. - sales led company means that most resources are funnelled there. Great if you're in sales but not so great if you're anywhere else.
