Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to hear your appreciation for the being able to work remotely, the pay, RSUs and the technology. However, the cons you mention aren’t at all the experience we’d like for our people and we take all feedback seriously. If you are open to it, we'd like to understand this feedback better - you could either reach out to our confidential mailbox people@lightspeedhq.com or if you are comfortable, speak to a People Business Partner. We hope to hear from you soon.
