      Rewarding and inspiring place to work.

      Pros

      The leadership team truly cares about the people and their success. They have an open door policy and genuinely want the feedback. I've never been able to learn as much as I did since I've been working here. My colleagues are incredibly smart and we work super hard to reach our goals.

      Cons

      This is not a typical 9-5 environment. While this may be a con for some, it's not for me. You get the flexibility you need to make our schedule work. But the results need to be there!

      Pros

      - Culture, the people you work with are great - motivated, young, hard working and ambitious. - Lightspeed is constantly evolving which keeps things interesting. You have to embrace the unknown and the chaos! - Good benefits package - Dax, current CEO, is still involved and very approachable

      Cons

      - Long hours, don't expect to be out by 5pm if you work in sales. - Not enough flexibility in terms of vacations, work from home

      Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review. Our culture is a big part of who we are and we constantly strive to hire the best so we can continue to create a positive, engaging environment. As a growing company, in a fast-paced environment, we don’t embody the typical punch-clock mentality, and we greatly appreciate everyone’s ability to work hard in order to see the results. That being said, we’ve introduced some measures to show employees appreciation for their hard-work and dedication. We’re glad you’ve been enjoying your time at Lightspeed!

      Pros

      Managers are really involved with their employees. The coaching and continuous discussions about performance and growth really inspires trust and makes you want to push to the maximum. Never enjoyed going to work this much, feel really good in the team and the company culture is insane!

      Cons

      It gets crazy at times so you need to be able to keep your head cool! There is always a lot to do, work hours can be long but you get appreciation for what you do. Work hard in this company and you will be rewarded.
