      Can be great if you don't mind political games

      Pros

      You get to meet a lot of good people throughout all organizations. Breakfast, great lunch and soft drinks throughout the day are taken care of. Depending on the organization you will be able to learn a lot to improve your overall skillset.

      Cons

      Political games are definitely there. You'll need to participate in those political games to make changes you feel need to happen. The company is very sales-driven which is perfect if you're in sales.

      Thanks for your candid review. We’re glad to know that you’re learning and broadening your skillset, but the political games reference is an area of concern. We would certainly like to hear more about this. We’d encourage you to go to your manager or HR Partner, for a confidential discussion, should you feel comfortable doing so. After all, we need continuous feedback to drive constant improvement.

      Rewarding and inspiring place to work.

      Pros

      The leadership team truly cares about the people and their success. They have an open door policy and genuinely want the feedback. I've never been able to learn as much as I did since I've been working here. My colleagues are incredibly smart and we work super hard to reach our goals.

      Cons

      This is not a typical 9-5 environment. While this may be a con for some, it's not for me. You get the flexibility you need to make our schedule work. But the results need to be there!

      Pros

      - Culture, the people you work with are great - motivated, young, hard working and ambitious. - Lightspeed is constantly evolving which keeps things interesting. You have to embrace the unknown and the chaos! - Good benefits package - Dax, current CEO, is still involved and very approachable

      Cons

      - Long hours, don't expect to be out by 5pm if you work in sales. - Not enough flexibility in terms of vacations, work from home

      Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review. Our culture is a big part of who we are and we constantly strive to hire the best so we can continue to create a positive, engaging environment. As a growing company, in a fast-paced environment, we don’t embody the typical punch-clock mentality, and we greatly appreciate everyone’s ability to work hard in order to see the results. That being said, we’ve introduced some measures to show employees appreciation for their hard-work and dedication. We’re glad you’ve been enjoying your time at Lightspeed!
