Pros

Employees get treated well, office HQ is beautiful, good culture

Cons

Extremely unorganized, often promoting people to management with no experiencing. which is good for people who want to move up but bad for the people who need to be managed by them

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review here on Glassdoor. We're super happy to hear you feel treated well and are enjoying the culture and offices, but it's concerning to hear your con. We strongly encourage you reach out to your manager or People Business Partner to have a conversation —we want all of our people to be able to do great work and feel supported and empowered by their leaders. If you don't feel comfortable going to your manager or PBP you can contact us on our confidential email: people@lightspeedhq.com.

Pros

- Greats benefits such as unlimited vacations, RRSP contributions, lunches, health and wellness allocation, and volunteering day. - In general, the people is great and nice to work with. - Interesting projects, fast-paced environment, and great learning opportunities.

Cons

- Upper management lacks transparency and makes questionable decisions regarding the future of the business. - Upper management overpromises on many aspects. - Mandatory return to the office policy is questionable and appears more as a strategy to micromanage employees than for the sake of the “company’s culture”.
