Pros

Learned a lot from the engineers there!

Cons

Sales driven company instead of being Engineering driven.

Lightspeed Response

Thanks for your brief review. We’re glad you learned a lot during your internship. Although we are a very metrics-oriented organization, we rely heavily on our Engineering team, and never lose sight of the work they do. After all, you can’t have one without the other, and we try to ensure that both departments are working closely together. Thanks again.
