      Pros

      - Lightspeed has an amazing culture and puts a strong focus on their people - Speaking of people, we have incredible teams across all departments, coming to work every day is a pleasure because of the incredible people I work with - As the company rapidly grows, there is a ton of potential for career opportunity - Everyone's opinion matters, we are all about breaking down boundaries between departments

      Cons

      We could do a better job at managing our growth (but I can already see improvements over the past few month)

      Pros

      The people. Lightspeed makes sure to bring on people that are passionate about what they do, so you are always at work with someone that inspires you, especially on the days where you need a little extra inspiration! They are also great at recognizing potential and there is a lot of room for growth.

      Cons

      The targets are very aggressive, and this is not a con. The targets are in line with our trajectory and desired growth, but I think sometimes we get so caught up in targets that we get a little lost in terms of work-life balance. That being said, I see leadership taking big leaps in trying to ameliorate that.

      Thank you for sharing! We've said it countless times, but I love reiterating it: we truly believe that we have the BEST people. As we continue to grow, we make it our mission to find people who share the same passion and drive as we do. This enables creativity, and an onus on each person to impact Lightspeed for the better, which is why we'll continuously invest in our people. Thanks again!
