      We appreciate you taking the time to review us. Your title says it all: we really care about our people! We try to maintain an environment that is both stimulating and fun. We know it’s hard work, and it can be overwhelming at first, as you mentioned, but we have a warm and welcoming team to help with that. Thanks again!

      Pros

      - Passionate diverse young work force - A lot of very young talented people - Great benefits (RRSP matching etc) - 5 à 7 every Friday - Many great company events through summer and winter. - Some people truly love what they do at Lightspeed and they can be easily spotted smiling all around.

      Cons

      - Management and leads in PD could do with some management training - Very crowded office space, can get noisy and distracting. - It has grown so fast, people started to be treated like numbers, no compassion or empathy. - No bonuses - Not great if you're a family person. - Big expectations, but no planning or clear strategy. - Many fake smiles, watch your back!
