Lightspeed reviews

I was hired as a product manager and my hiring manager set the expectation that there is a learning curve and it will take some time for me to be running projects independently. Despite minimal training, barely any communication from my manager, and almost no documentation to work with, I got the hang of things. I was fired after 2 months because apparently I wasn't up to standard - even though I delivered everything I was supposed and met every deadline. There was zero warning of my termination and not even any indication that I was doing poorly. It caught me completely out of the blue. This company is so disorganized that I found out I was let go by the IT guy, who Slacked me about equipment return. I didn't get a chance to learn, I didn't get a chance to correct myself, I didn't even know my manager had a problem with me. If I was a terrible employee, I would understand the decision but I learned a lot in my short tenure and was able to deliver with minimal support at the time of my firing. This organization is not looking to teach or develop its employees whatsoever.

• Toxic environment • Unprofessional behavior with clicky groups and politics • No career progression opportunities, only for the selected few who participate in flattery with leadership • High fluctuation • Lower salary than market, perks and health benefits I had a good time with a team that hired me, but due to multiple restructuring, I ended up with a manager who couldn't care less about me. I even doubt they have the professional knowledge to be in their position (lots of people's titles are boosted, and not by merit—directors with 6 years of experience are insulting to people who don't engage in flattery and have more professional experience). It's not the worst job I've ever had, but a close second. There are great teams like sales and engineering. But I'd stay away from any role in the design department—it's so toxic!
