      Pros

      Where do i start. We work in a castle! We get tons of free snacks and apparel. You get your own MacBook, your Opus is paid for, salary is great, option to work from home if you feel like it, etc, etc, etc. The office culture is something I had only seen in movies till now. The entire team is highly motivated and come to work to kick butt everyday. It's a very "work hard, play hard" atmosphere with incredible opportunity for growth. It's exciting to work for a company that has accomplished so much and still has so much potential. I think what I appreciate the most is the diversity among the staff. Our CEO and President always stress how important it is for this company to continue to thrive!

      Cons

      Lightspeed isn't your typical 9-5 job, especially in sales. Get ready to work hard but reap amazing benefits!

      Thanks for an outstanding review! We love that what you appreciate most is our diversity. We try and hire the best, and that means a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. As you know, one of our company beliefs is that we are all unique, yet unified, and I can't think of a better line that describes our culture and ways of working. With everyone's hard work, the potential is infinite. Thanks so much!

      The office is getting crowded could we could use some more space soon. More breakout rooms needed.

      What an awesome review! That long list of pros makes us so confident that we're going in the right direction. Our dynamic culture attracts talented individuals who strive to develop not only themselves but also those around them. To us and to our customers, results matter and every Lightspeeder is accountable for that. You'd think that working in a castle would give us limitless space, but our growth can quickly make things crowded. We're working on it. Thanks again!

      Pros

      Young, exciting place to work with great coworkers. I actually look forward to come to work everyday instead of counting down the hours to my lunch hour and end of day. Beautiful workspaces and very supportive environment.

      Cons

      If you don't feel comfortable working with quotas, this may not be the place for you. They will do whatever they can to help but quotas aren't for everyone.

      Thanks for such a thoughtful review! We're delighted that you look forward to coming into work every day - this is truly one of our biggest end-goals. We're here to do the best work of our lives, and I feel like we're living up to that promise. Quotas are inevitable in any sales role at Lightspeed, and you're right, they're not for everyone. We hire carefully and are very transparent in the process, and that allows us to find the right people who can excel here. Thanks again!
