Hi, Thanks for taking the time to post your review. It's very much appreciated. We're excited to hear you're finding the company culture to be a great mix of family environment with start up vibes. We know we have work to do in terms of diversity—it's an area we've worked to establish at Lightspeed and set out a DEI 5 year vision and many initiatives and frameworks to support this important work, but there is always more to do and we're very keen to hear more from our people as to how we can improve. We encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner regarding the diversity topic as well as your work-life balance because that's another area we're putting a lot of thought and focus into so that we can all be empowered to thrive across a global, distributed company. Thank you for igniting businesses everywhere and your meaningful impact to date. Best, Rani Hammond, Chief People and Culture Officer

Hi, We truly appreciate your review and feedback. Thanks for sharing this here on Glassdoor. We're excited to hear you enjoyed our benefits program with unlimited PTO and that our company culture is strong. Work-life balance is a keen focus at all times for us at Lightspeed and we're proud to have implemented our trail-blazing People Experience policy with flexible, unlimited paid time off and the ability to work hybrid, remote, in-office or across the world for 60 calendar days per year. It can be hard in some teams to fully utilize this policy but with our hiring plan we envision all teams having the support and people power to achieve a great work-life balance. Wishing you all the best in your next role and thank you for igniting businesses everywhere in your time at Lightspeed. Best, Rani Hammond, Chief People and Culture Officer
