      Thanks for leaving a review! We're glad to see all the positive things you enjoy about working here. Our talent is everything to us, and we wouldn't be here today without everyone's passion and drive. We can't thank our employees enough. We do move fast, and have experienced our share of growing pains, but we've learnt from our mistakes, and take it day by day. Thanks again for your feedback - we take it to heart!

      Best workplace in Montreal

      Pros

      Great environment, everyone is friendly and willing to help when you need it, the effort put in hiring people who fit in and collaborate with each other really pays off. First thing I do when I get to work is sing (ambient music is amazing). The policies are strict when they need to, yet flexible when you need to. Lots of growth (in a bit less than a year, I have seen all the original members of my team grow to a different position). Location is amazing. I feel really proud to be part of the Lightspeed family. The benefits are awesome (Insurance, Bixi, Opus Card, Gym, coffee and bagels every day... )

      Cons

      Nothing to put here. Really.

      Pros

      The environment is amazing and I have established some incredible relationships with colleagues and the leadership team. You need to know what you’re signing up for and it’s not a 9-5 job... but a company like Lightspeed that has raised funding like this and is on a path to IPO, it’s not realistic to expect that. The salaries and commissions are beyond fair and you need to understand what you are becoming a part of. We are a rocket ship and need humble, hard-working people that are smart enough to see any position at Lightspeed as major opportunity.

      Cons

      Yes the hours can be long, but HR makes that clear in the interview process. You choose your path in life and yes, you will work dam hard... but working a boring 9-5 is not for everyone and Lightspeed will be sure to always keep you pushing personal and professional boundaries. We are not perfect... but after years of experience in large corporations, we’ve got it dam good here!
