      A sad state of affairs

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice people with the right intentions. Free snacks and lunches. Good perks with flexibility, gym, health benefits Growth with acquisitions

      Cons

      Seems great at first and on the outside, but it feels like a fake, shell company, hollow on the inside. Exec team is out of touch with employee issues, impersonable, and don't connect claiming spirituality when the company is in disarray with incompetent leaders who scream the loudest gets the attention and promotion. What is promoted in the book is the opposite of what's happening at the company. When you have a company full of "leaders" and no followers, everyone is going in all direction. Full chaos

      Amazing Company to work for

      Pros

      Advantages of working for Lightspeed are (amongst others) Job Diversity, plenty of ownership, energetic colleagues, opportunity to grow,

      Cons

      A lot of workload, company is constantly growing so usually too little time to to fit everything in 40 to 50 hours. If you're okay with working longer days, this is the place to be though.

      Fun but not substainable

      Sales development representative

      Pros

      The people at LightSpeed are Amazing to say the least. I really enjoyed going to work and interacting with my friends there. To this day, I am still in contact with my previous colleagues. The culture is very vibrant and fun, you get to work in a dynamic environment. Always fully loaded kitchen and the facilities are amazing. I also want to give a shoutout to Amir, one of the best leaders at LightSpeed. He's really fun to be around and he actually cares about his team. Always willing to help out and go the extra mile.

      Cons

      There a lot of cons. The working hours are pretty harsh and especially during end of month, you are expected to stay and grind even when hitting target is literally impossible. The targets are extremelly high and when I say extremelly high I mean it. Every single month there would be 1 person hitting target out of the whole team (11+) . It's a pretty depressing feeling when you go to work every single day knowing you pretty much have no chance of hitting your target but you still have to put on a smile and pretend like everything is fine. Manager are great but sometimes I did not like the fact that they would have team meetings to setup extra incentives that are even harder to hit than the targets themselves. Like seriously ?
