Great place to get started

Pros

Great co workers, great office space, lots to learn. It’s a great place to start if you are trying to get your foot in the door in the tech industry. A lot of great opportunities opened up for me once I started at Lightspeed and I was very well taken care of.

Cons

If you’re not based in Montreal, it’s hard to find upward mobility within the company. It’s still possible, it’s just a little harder if you are in one of the satellite offices.

We truly want to see every Lightspeeder ignite their potential with the company and enjoy lateral as well as upward mobility. Thank you for helping to ignite businesses everywhere.
