Pros

For me, the best part is working with smart, passionate people. I get to work on interesting and challenging work that has a real impact both locally, but globally too. There are great perks and benefits offered - lunch provided, flexible uncapped leave and ability to work from anywhere in the world for up to 60 days a year!

Cons

It lives up to its name, Lightspeed is fast paced and constantly changing so not the right place for people who like stable and consistent workplaces!
