Unsure if it's worth it.

Pros

Great place to start a career, and the place to be if you like to party. Some really awesome coworkers. Solid benefits. Relaxed be yourself *style*.

Cons

The money you get for the amount of work done doesn't really make sense. It's go time, all the time. If the company has a heart, it came from a sales textbook, not a product or its customers.

Lightspeed Response

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate that you feel like you can be yourself at work - that's important to us! As part of our company values, we do believe that results matter. In turn, we do have a metrics-oriented mindset. We all give 120% of our effort, and that makes us feel as though we have a direct impact on the success of the organization. Our environment is fast-paced, and it isn't for everyone but we truly appreciate everyone's dedication, because you've impacted Lightspeed's success in one way or another.
