      Pros

      The environment is amazing and I have established some incredible relationships with colleagues and the leadership team. You need to know what you’re signing up for and it’s not a 9-5 job... but a company like Lightspeed that has raised funding like this and is on a path to IPO, it’s not realistic to expect that. The salaries and commissions are beyond fair and you need to understand what you are becoming a part of. We are a rocket ship and need humble, hard-working people that are smart enough to see any position at Lightspeed as major opportunity.

      Cons

      Yes the hours can be long, but HR makes that clear in the interview process. You choose your path in life and yes, you will work dam hard... but working a boring 9-5 is not for everyone and Lightspeed will be sure to always keep you pushing personal and professional boundaries. We are not perfect... but after years of experience in large corporations, we’ve got it dam good here!

      Stimulating place to work

      Pros

      - Great environment - Stellar management - nobody's perfect, but it's an inspiring and open place to work. Managers are accessible and speak openly (and listen to feedback). - Great benefits - Challenging and lots to learn every day (which is all I look for) - Massive objective mean there's a lot to do

      Cons

      - Changing plans make it difficult to stay on track sometimes - I see it as more of a learning opp and challenge.

      Pros

      -Highly motivated individuals -Incredible work ethic -Amazing energy/vibe -Phenomenal learning experience -Super fun environment

      Cons

      -Hard work - Lightspeed is not a 9 to 5 work environment which is tough at times; however, people at Lightspeed are really committed to doing the best work of their lives and to building something great. When trying to accomplish the extraordinary, it's a given that we will need to go the extra mile...this already is the best place I've ever worked and I am so excited and proud to be a part of what we are building...
