      Would not recommend working in the Design Department

      Product design manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I met amazing people here, but sadly, once they saw what was happening, they left.

      Cons

      • Toxic environment • Unprofessional behavior with clicky groups and politics • No career progression opportunities, only for the selected few who participate in flattery with leadership • High fluctuation • Lower salary than market, perks and health benefits I had a good time with a team that hired me, but due to multiple restructuring, I ended up with a manager who couldn't care less about me. I even doubt they have the professional knowledge to be in their position (lots of people's titles are boosted, and not by merit—directors with 6 years of experience are insulting to people who don't engage in flattery and have more professional experience). It's not the worst job I've ever had, but a close second. There are great teams like sales and engineering. But I'd stay away from any role in the design department—it's so toxic!

      Hi, thanks for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. It’s great to hear that you’ve met amazing people and enjoyed working with the team that originally hired you. However, we are concerned by some of your comments about your experiences within the design department. This is not the experience we want for our employees, and we take feedback like this very seriously. We’re flagging this for an internal review and if you wish to share any further details confidentially at people@lightspeedhq.com we encourage you to reach out there or to your People Business Partner so that we can address these concerns effectively. Thank you again for your honesty and for the contributions you’re making to Lightspeed.
