      Awesome job in a fast growing company

      Pros

      Managers are really involved with their employees. The coaching and continuous discussions about performance and growth really inspires trust and makes you want to push to the maximum. Never enjoyed going to work this much, feel really good in the team and the company culture is insane!

      Cons

      It gets crazy at times so you need to be able to keep your head cool! There is always a lot to do, work hours can be long but you get appreciation for what you do. Work hard in this company and you will be rewarded.

      Pros

      Amazing company, great culture, talented, diverse and dynamic workforce, friendly environment, and a great CEO! I look forward to coming to work every morning, because they care about their employees and are passionate about what they do. Most of my colleagues are happy people and from all over the world which makes working at Lightspeed 100 times more attractive! The company offers a great insurance plan, transportation benefits, stock options opportunities, and free healthy snacks, to name a few.

      Cons

      If you are not a hard worker, you may want to think twice about working at Lightspeed.

      Love working at a place where family is not just a buzzword.

      Pros

      I started working here only a year ago, but from the beginning I've felt very welcome, everyone was always talking about the "lightspeed family", at first I thought "yeah right, that's what every company says" but after this year I have experienced the welcoming, supporting, and very dynamic atmosphere that is Lightspeed. I was also very amazed at what lengths we sometimes go through for our customers, as a very customer oriented person, this really amazed me.

      Cons

      The workload can be high sometimes, but this is always addressed and very well rewarded. I'm genuinely having trouble coming up with cons. Sometimes the coffee machine runs out of beans & it sometimes completely shuts down... but that's about it.

      Thank you so much for your positive review. When we ask our employees what they like most about working here, they almost always say the people. Our people are our greatest asset and we work hard to make sure our environment is supportive, fun and rewarding. You’re right, the workload can be high. With our position as a leader in the industry, and the rapid growth we’re experiencing, we all know we’re going to be part of something special – and that’s the most exciting part! Thanks again for your review, and contribution to Lightspeed.
