      Pros

      I have worked at Lightspeed for 2 years in more than one office and I can truly say that the people here are some of the most hardworking I have ever seen. To be successful here, you need to buy into the vision and get involved, which is easy to do due to the sheer volume and pace that the company work at. They do not look at your age, they care about experience + attitude. It feels like every week we get an email about someone being promoted or moving into a new department. It is truly a place that you can grow. I work in sales and the team work together in every office to achieve target, it is a sales driven environment. You are not competing against eachother, everyone gets that it is best when we all achieve.

      Cons

      As others have said, it is unashamedly not a 9-5 job. But they are pretty open with that before you get into it. The company is going places so that's what you got to do sometimes. In saying that, in my experience, it has always still been flexible enough that it is not that big a deal. I love being in a place where no one slacks and you are all doing your best work.

      Thanks for leaving such a great review! A part of our secret sauce is that everyone truly believes in what we’re trying to do as a company. We’re all on this crazy ride together, and push one another to achieve great things, and grow here. With that being said, you hit the nail on the head with it not being a standard punch-clock approach. We make sure to incentivise everyone for the hard work they put in. We try to offer the best for the best.

      Pros

      Lightspeed is the company you go to if you want to take your career to the next level. Managers and executives put a lot of effort into creating the best environment for employees; something they take a great deal of pride in. A lot of effort is put into transparency and helping everyone understand what their role is in the company and how it impacts the company on the whole. I've never heard someone not feel that their work mattered at any level and in any department. There's also amazing support from the management. Lightspeed has the best attitude towards its customers and team spirit of any company I've seen.

      Cons

      The cons are mostly a result of the pros. Because the environment is so stimulating, and you never have a boring day -- it can become difficult at times to maintain the work life balance found at other places. If you're a slacker, Lightspeed isn't the place where you'll enjoy yourself. On the other hand if you're a hard worker, you'll never have the feeling that you're doing all the work.
