Pros

Professional people who aim high and work hard, with an open and honest culture, not afraid to call B‘s

Cons

After some recent acquisitions and growth there is some more work to do to align and inform a globally distributed workforce that keeps growing, but that is to be expected when you're moving at Lightspeed

Pros

Fun and exciting place and industry! People are bright, engaged and committed to making a positive impact. A really collaborative and easy-going environment. Leadership does a great job at trying to bring people together. Great and generous perks. Tons of challenges and opportunities to work on different assignments.

Cons

A little chaotic at times, priorities are shifting and there are some lack of efficiencies.

Pros

Company culture is very social. Lots of perks. Great benefits.

Cons

Somewhat of a social pyramid. If you don’t socialize enough it will lesson your chance of success. This is not just a clock in clock out job. It is 100% tele-sales. If you’re looking for an office job research tele-marketing and tele-sales before accepting this job. You have to be persistent. You’re expected to call nice people who have kindly refused your offer back again and again. Get used to people hanging up on you. The overall targets will make you doubt yourself if you ever thought you could be in sales. This is not your typical sales because it’s on the phone you have a few minutes to sell anybody on the idea of buying software. And finally there is no work life balance at this company. You’re either all lightspeed or you’re out. You will be expected to stay longer or at least pressured because everyone else does (you’ll look like a slacker for taking your whole hour lunch). Especially if you haven’t met your target be expected to stay 1 hour later everyday till you do if you ever do. I’d say this job is best for anyone who doesn’t have much to do outside of work.
