Pros

This week it was my 3 year Lightspeed anniversary and I guess it's a great time to share my review. Lightspeed is a great place, the place where you can try new roles and responsibilities. The place where you can find not just colleagues but friends The place were your voice will be heard

Cons

- Long hours, but "work hard, play hard" - Difficult to book a meeting with people on an other side of the globe

Pros

A very special team culture built by a group of incredibly talented, creative, uplifting people. Great to be a part of an inclusive, socially aware organisation that genuinely values diversity. Plenty of opportunity for growth and career progression. Deep connection to the industry and customers brings real meaning to our work and authenticity to Lightspeed's vision. Stock options allow all employees to share in the success of the company.

Cons

Connecting teams from all over the world in different timezones does come with its challenges and at times the Sydney office has felt like an afterthought, but some good progress is being made here.

Pros

Lightspeed is on a mission to empower SMBs succeed in a digital world. Who wants to live in a world where all our local entrepreneurs providing unique retail and restaurant experiences are replaced by big box retail and fast food chains? If you want to work for a company that is focused on making a difference and considers employee retention and development as its core business strategy, you will not be disappointed. Yes we work hard. But we play hard as sell. Yes there is always room for improvement. But we are passionate about we do. We are moving fast and we learn from the past to better the future. Lightspeed is a special place to work at and you will be surrounded by driven people that challenge the status quo.

Cons

I can't think of any. Reading the negative comments I can't help but wonder how a company that kept every job safe in a global pandemic deserves less than 5 stars.
