      Poor work-life balance

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Remote work Uses Apple technology instead of PC

      Cons

      Time off is at the mercy of your manager, if your manager does not believe in time off or mental health it is hard to get a break. Burnout culture is a real issue here. Management expects you to work overtime everyday even if you do not make overtime not will they give you the time back by letting you go early. There is also an expectation that you will use email and messaging in your personal phone so your manager can access you whenever they wish. Pay is not competitive and they use stocks to say they pay competitively as "total compensation" when in reality it is how they under pay salaries. Constant revolving door, no respect for employees. Very much a "we can replace them" attitude. No training or development by leaders.

      Thanks for your review--we introduced a flexible paid time off policy in many regions of Lightspeed to give employees further flexibility. It's not available everywhere we are though so this feedback is appreciated.

      Very Challenging, Lots of Work To Be Done

      Pros

      - At least for my team, my manager is very understanding and accommodating. - If you are looking at crunching code all year out, this is the place for you

      Cons

      - Pay and compensation are not so great - Lots of work and be prepared to work overtime - Can be very challenging - Acquisitions tend to disrupt the balance and throws people off every time - No harmony between the main company and its acquisitions
