Pros

Fun culture, good pay, good benefits.

Cons

Lightspeed can be a great company to work for but they tend to blindside their mid-management with April layoffs each year. In Lightspeed, if you get promoted to manager it could be a death sentence for your career at the end of the 4th quarter which makes it a mixed bag when promotions come around.
