Great company, perfect if you want to start your career;

Cons

Long hours of work, not the punch in punch out company

Lightspeed Response

Thanks for your brief review. We do value growth as a company - that said, it takes hard work to get there. You’re right, we aren’t your usual punch-clock organization, but we make sure to offer the right tools and resources to help you excel in your role, and to progress within the company.

Pros

Amazing work environment, simply the best colleagues and outstanding leaders! Working here makes you feel like you've truly hit the jackpot!

Cons

The company already has so many perks so it's sad to see that it's still not enough for some people and they kind of ruin it by always wanting more - I've never worked somewhere that gives such incredible perks, I just wish the staff appreciated it more

Lightspeed Response

What a gracious review! We sure love our castle, and find it an inspiring space to work in. At the end of the day, it’s the people who make our working environment so great. To reciprocate, we try and offer great perks & benefits for our Lightspeed employees and we’re so happy to hear that you love them!
