      Pros

      - Passionate diverse young work force - A lot of very young talented people - Great benefits (RRSP matching etc) - 5 à 7 every Friday - Many great company events through summer and winter. - Some people truly love what they do at Lightspeed and they can be easily spotted smiling all around.

      Cons

      - Management and leads in PD could do with some management training - Very crowded office space, can get noisy and distracting. - It has grown so fast, people started to be treated like numbers, no compassion or empathy. - No bonuses - Not great if you're a family person. - Big expectations, but no planning or clear strategy. - Many fake smiles, watch your back!
