      Pros

      I love working at Lightspeed because of: - the people - the opportunities I've been given (I grew from an entry level position to a global management position) - my direct manager and colleague managers - the work environment (great office space, very good benefits, regular free lunches and a couple of big parties a year) - the mission (helping SMB independent businesses succeed in a very competitive environment)

      Cons

      What we need to work on as a company: - Fix the core of our Retail product, it has been a challenge for years and continues to be one. - Make the Dev and Product teams stable and reliable. Too much turnover and lack of focus in some teams, disconnect from the customers' needs and priorities. - Adjust to the culture differences introduced by the different acquisitions we've made over the past few years.

      Pros

      Fast paced company aiming high, achieving even higher. Work here already for 5 years and the experience has been, and still is amazing. Growing potential is very present.

      Cons

      The company is growing but scaled making the employees sometimes stretched. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not everyone can handle this pressure.

      Thanks for your review. We’re so happy to know that your Lightspeed experience has been consistent throughout the years. On that note, thank you for dedicating 5 years to us! Aiming very high comes with added pressure, and as you said, it’s not for everyone. We try to give everyone the right tools and resources in order to make an impact, and continuously grow. We’re always working on improving this, so your feedback there is valued. Thanks again!
