Thanks for your brief review. We do value growth as a company - that said, it takes hard work to get there. You’re right, we aren’t your usual punch-clock organization, but we make sure to offer the right tools and resources to help you excel in your role, and to progress within the company.

We work in a castle - it really is a fairy tale!

Pros

Amazing work environment, simply the best colleagues and outstanding leaders! Working here makes you feel like you've truly hit the jackpot!

Cons

The company already has so many perks so it's sad to see that it's still not enough for some people and they kind of ruin it by always wanting more - I've never worked somewhere that gives such incredible perks, I just wish the staff appreciated it more

What a gracious review! We sure love our castle, and find it an inspiring space to work in. At the end of the day, it’s the people who make our working environment so great. To reciprocate, we try and offer great perks & benefits for our Lightspeed employees and we’re so happy to hear that you love them!

Pros

The first day you arrive at the lightspeed headquarters and finally find the moment to look around you and see what a unique environment you're working in, you realize your life's about to change. Lightspeed does not only offer you the coolest workplace to work in, it also offers everything you'd ever want in life: interesting and smart people to work with, every perk you need, beer, inspiring life events and - most importantly - a flat hierarchy in which every change you make directly impacts the company and gets noticed by your peers and directors. Don't worry: here we do not have boring desk jobs and lightspeed makes sure to keep you entertained with regular events that will blow you mind. One of the main complaints about lightspeed is the work/life balance, however you balance this out however you want. No one's going to tell you what to do, and honestly, with whatever's going on at lightspeed you really want to give your work balance more attention. It's all worth it.

Cons

Only beers on Friday... Rooftop terrace is not finished yet (but it's going to be awesome once it is there - again a perk)

Thanks for writing! Our physical workspace is designed to encourage creativity, which is why we don’t have a typical “cubicle” or “corporate” space. We also like to keep our hierarchy as flat as possible because we’re all working together towards something amazing, no matter what position you hold. I hear you, the delays on our terrace has been lengthy – we can’t wait to have it finished!
