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

- Good work culture. - Safe to fail / safe to disagree environment. - Most people really care about the product and the company. - There is a general desire to do good by our users. - Decent work/life balance.

Cons

- Most relevant decisions come top-down. - For a company of this size and profile, salary should be a lot better. - The annual raises are essentially correcting for inflation (2 to 3%). - Very hard to move up. A lot of programmers stay with the same job title for many years. - Titles are quite meaningless. Doesn't always correspond to knowledge or experience. - Promotions appear to be rather arbitrary.

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.
