      Most toxic company I have worked at

      Pros

      Relatively High Salary Travel perks

      Cons

      Lightspeed is a mix of bunch of acquired companies from different parts of the world with their own culture and structure, unable to work with one another. You have to work your butt off and do meetings at crazy hours since the company is spread across the world. No work life balance and a really high stress environment. Regularly witnessed people get yelled at in meetings. Might be a good opportunity for a young person trying to gain some experience, but if you have a family be prepared to not see your kids for days.

      Poor executive leadership. Reversed decisions and focus on shareholders.
