Just like a season of GoT

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working at Lightspeed is much like a season of Games of Throne. - You will work in a beautiful castle and be provided with everything you need - You will take part in unique, wild adventures, conquering (Acquiring) new territories (Markets) - You will be surrounded and inspired by highly skilled and talented individuals, the best warriors of modern corporations, allowing you to learn, perfect your own skills and become one of the best as well - You might obtain riches beyond your wildest dream if you are deemed worthy (RSU, commissions)

Cons

- Much like GoT, the theory of survival of the fittest is an understatement. Behind the glamour facade of a kind and noble king, beautiful castles and amazing adventures, you will need to watch your back and navigate through a culture of extreme corporate politics, blatant public shaming and humiliation, ruthless demagogy, and insidious plots. - The storyline will pivot abruptly at any moment and without warning - You may last 1 minute, 1 episode, maybe 1 season. If you are lucky the dragon will take you under his wing... but for how long? As long as it will suit him. Don't be fooled, it is the dragon, not the king, who is pulling the strings.
