Pros

The colleagues are fantastic, unlimited paid time off, health and dental benefits

Cons

The energy is always good, the team makes it a fun place to work. Hard to really complain.. it is a bit disorganized - Too many different departments/ point of contacts which can lead to confusion as there isn’t anything that explains who to contact for what.

Pros

Lightspeed talks about the opportunity to grow your career and move countries or work from anywhere - and they actually mean it. I see people working from different countries temporarily all the time or getting opportunities to move to roles in other countries such as London or Montreal. It exciting to know that these are real opportunities that the company offers and supports.

Cons

Whilst the global element is amazing for so many reasons, the timezones can make collaboration hard at times - but the flexibility we have allows you to take time back if you are on early or late meetings to allow for timezones

Hi, thanks for taking the time to share your review here at Glassdoor. We're happy to hear how you see Lightspeeders are able to turn internal move opportunities into reality. We're aiming for a world-class employee experience where all of our people can be their authentic selves and develop the career they want at Lightspeed. We are with you on the difficulties that timezones bring! But glad to hear you're taking your time back after that flexibility of working earlier or later. Thanks for all of the contributions you've made at Lightspeed so far!
