Thank you for your candid review. At Lightspeed, we have a culture of constant improvement and rely on feedback like this to help us evolve the way we do things. One of our people goals this year is to build career paths and nurture talent, and we have started implementing development opportunities across all departments. Because we work so hard, we try to ensure there is constant appreciation for it. We’re sorry to hear that you feel the recognition is limited, and this is certainly not intentional. I encourage you to talk to your manager or HR, if you feel comfortable doing so. We will keep a close eye on this to make sure everyone is being recognized for the hard work that they put in – after all, you all are the reason for our success!
