Hi, We truly appreciate your review and feedback. Thanks for sharing this here on Glassdoor. We're excited to hear you enjoyed our benefits program with unlimited PTO and that our company culture is strong. Work-life balance is a keen focus at all times for us at Lightspeed and we're proud to have implemented our trail-blazing People Experience policy with flexible, unlimited paid time off and the ability to work hybrid, remote, in-office or across the world for 60 calendar days per year. It can be hard in some teams to fully utilize this policy but with our hiring plan we envision all teams having the support and people power to achieve a great work-life balance. Wishing you all the best in your next role and thank you for igniting businesses everywhere in your time at Lightspeed. Best, Rani Hammond, Chief People and Culture Officer

Hi, Thank you for your review here on Glassdoor. We're super happy to hear your feedback and that you're finding the growth opportunities and fun here at Lightspeed. As you've been with the company more than 4 years we also appreciate how the verticalization of our industries and departments landed--we're committed to our 5 year vision and verticalization was a big stepping stone to reaching our vision. If you have further feedback we encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner to share it. Thank you for helping to ignite businesses everywhere. Best, Rani Hammond, Chief People and Culture Officer
