Pros

You will come to work and be surrounded by people you love, who are super smart, talented and encouraging. I have worked here for over three years and there hasn't been a day where I was not happy to be a part of this company.

Cons

Lightspeed isn't your typical 9-5 job, but nothing worthwhile ever comes easy, so be ready to work hard, but reap amazing rewards!
