The office is getting crowded could we could use some more space soon. More breakout rooms needed.

What an awesome review! That long list of pros makes us so confident that we're going in the right direction. Our dynamic culture attracts talented individuals who strive to develop not only themselves but also those around them. To us and to our customers, results matter and every Lightspeeder is accountable for that. You'd think that working in a castle would give us limitless space, but our growth can quickly make things crowded. We're working on it. Thanks again!

Pros

Young, exciting place to work with great coworkers. I actually look forward to come to work everyday instead of counting down the hours to my lunch hour and end of day. Beautiful workspaces and very supportive environment.

Cons

If you don't feel comfortable working with quotas, this may not be the place for you. They will do whatever they can to help but quotas aren't for everyone.

Thanks for such a thoughtful review! We're delighted that you look forward to coming into work every day - this is truly one of our biggest end-goals. We're here to do the best work of our lives, and I feel like we're living up to that promise. Quotas are inevitable in any sales role at Lightspeed, and you're right, they're not for everyone. We hire carefully and are very transparent in the process, and that allows us to find the right people who can excel here. Thanks again!

Thanks for your review. We do have an incredible culture and are always looking for new ways to nurture it. I hear you - targets are challenging, so changing them can certainly throw people into a tailspin. We're actively working to build a consistent process in order to minimize that. Thanks again!
