      Pros

      - The team: Positive, good work ethic - Opportunities to grow - Recognition for hard work - Location / Beautiful work environment

      Cons

      Some might not like how our rapid growth means you need to be flexible, but I personally like that, so it depends on your style. You are also expected to work hard, but you know you are in good company so it feels fair.

      Thank you for your positive feedback! We can’t stress enough how lucky we are to have such great employees. The quick growth we experience certainly comes with challenges, and it has required us to be extra adaptable. For this, we are very thankful that we have the right people in place to get through them. Thanks again!

      Pros

      -Amazing people, very friendly and welcoming. People are always willing to help and better everyone else's employee experience. -Work environment is very impressive. Good location, free food, coffee and bagels 24/7. Offices are very very nice. Very tech company style. -Benefits are very robust AND they are always improving, never stagnating. They try to think about families, single parents, etc. -Health coverage from day 1 ! -Crazy growth year after year so many opportunities will come your way if you put in effort. -Very diversity-oriented, promotes gender equality and equity, communication and team-work. -Organizational structure is as flat as possible : everyone is approachable. -Salary is very good, but the perks weight in a lot as well. -Apps to get access to doctors or medical advice faster

      Cons

      -Some growing pains can sometimes be identified, BUT at least they ARE identified and addressed as best possible.

      Pros

      I love working at Lightspeed because of: - the people - the opportunities I've been given (I grew from an entry level position to a global management position) - my direct manager and colleague managers - the work environment (great office space, very good benefits, regular free lunches and a couple of big parties a year) - the mission (helping SMB independent businesses succeed in a very competitive environment)

      Cons

      What we need to work on as a company: - Fix the core of our Retail product, it has been a challenge for years and continues to be one. - Make the Dev and Product teams stable and reliable. Too much turnover and lack of focus in some teams, disconnect from the customers' needs and priorities. - Adjust to the culture differences introduced by the different acquisitions we've made over the past few years.
