Some nice things to do. Choose your team carefully

Pros

Nice people, good perks (food, RRSP…), amazing office, growing.

Cons

I’ve been working for some time in payments at Lightspeed. I was lucky enough to work on high impact projects with some remarkable people. Unfortunately for a few months now, the team has been in a painful downward spiral. Culminating today with an appalling product vision. If you consider joining Lightspeed, be sure to select your team carefully. Ask to meet as many of your future colleagues as possible, and not just devs.

Lightspeed Response

Thank you for sharing. We’re glad to know that you were able to work on impactful projects during your time with us. Life at Lightspeed moves quickly, and our intention is to continue to build on our products vision and roadmap. There are always improvements that can be made, and we appreciate the candid feedback.

Thanks for your positive review. When we ask people about our culture, they often share the same words that you have: fast, dynamic, exciting!
