      Pros

      In dev at lightspeed for almost a year and things are getting alot better. There is good road map of where we want to go and what we gonna build. I like the innovation time alot. A bunch of improvement with dev tools and clear direction making work nicer. Senior dev leaders and CTO making some good change and improvement.

      Cons

      We don't have enough people and I work to much I think.

      Pros

      - Young, ambitious group of people - Nice vibe around the office, "work hard play hard" culture - International environment with mutual respect - Ability to work cross culture and cross regions - Freedom in the job and ability to quickly grow within the organization - Freedom to be you and voice your opinion - Beautiful office at the canal

      Cons

      - Still somewhat traditional Northern American with regards to flexibility around working hours/working from home. Expecting that will improve over time.

      Thanks for your review! It’s always so great to see how our culture is consistent amongst our different offices. Having our HQ in Montreal can sometimes be challenging, but we are one Lightspeed, and I believe that it’s truly felt no matter where you’re located. After all, we’re all working towards the same goal, and that is to be part of an inspiring and successful company. Thanks again!
