      Pros

      Great co workers, great office space, lots to learn. It’s a great place to start if you are trying to get your foot in the door in the tech industry. A lot of great opportunities opened up for me once I started at Lightspeed and I was very well taken care of.

      Cons

      If you’re not based in Montreal, it’s hard to find upward mobility within the company. It’s still possible, it’s just a little harder if you are in one of the satellite offices.

      Hi, Thanks for taking the time to post your review. It's very much appreciated. We're excited to hear you're finding the company culture to be a great mix of family environment with start up vibes. We know we have work to do in terms of diversity—it's an area we've worked to establish at Lightspeed and set out a DEI 5 year vision and many initiatives and frameworks to support this important work, but there is always more to do and we're very keen to hear more from our people as to how we can improve. We encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner regarding the diversity topic as well as your work-life balance because that's another area we're putting a lot of thought and focus into so that we can all be empowered to thrive across a global, distributed company. Thank you for igniting businesses everywhere and your meaningful impact to date. Best, Rani Hammond, Chief People and Culture Officer
