Pros

All the people I've worked with at Lightspeed are fantastic. Driven, intelligent, great teams, great mid-level leadership. Accommodating managers and team leads who help you progress in the company, competent coworkers, good collaboration between departments The focus on the work is good. You won't be doing time wasting projects. You will be given opportunities to prove yourself

Cons

Really the pay. Either your in sales where the majority of your pay is commissions (and you can make decent money but take on a lot of stress) or you're not in sales and the money is mediocre at best to insulting. They fail to pay a competitive salary while hiring many new employees at the same time.
