      Hi, thanks for your review and the impact you are making at Lightspeed. It's great to hear that you appreciate the flexibility that Lightspeed offers given its global footprint. The flipside of a large globally dispersed organization is not being able to see those outside of your core region in person very often - however we strive to ensure people feel connected through as many touch points as possible and when possible, getting people together to connect, collaborate, learn and socialize.

      Unrealistic goals, lack of interest in employees

      Pros

      - some nice people that really want to make good products and make customers happy

      Cons

      - overly relied on payments despite clear product issues and long term strategy - minimal data and whiplash decisions as a result - ridiculous return to work policy with teams across the world - push for profitability takes its toll on people and their incomes but the company is still spending millions on coachella like sales parties - removed training budgets, didn't bother to tell anyone - sales driven decisions mostly driven by a single client per region - sr leadership doesn't know how to have a workforce spread across the globe - several leaders are incapable of dealing with people and make rash decisions about staff without any forethought

      Good job with many opportunities

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * If you are motivated you can propose your ideas and likely you will be able to implement it. * Flexible approach from management if you have some personal requirements. * Pretty good collaboration among teams, people always will help you

      Cons

      * Return to the office policy. You have to spend part of the time in the office. * If you're not motivated and don't have interesting ideas then you will do some boring stuff.
