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.

Pros

Diverse and accepting colleagues, commitment to make a great product focused on the user, smart and talented leaders, a company that is interested in investing in their workforce and in your career, challenging problems which continually break monotony and stretch your technical boundaries, fun parties, great people, fair salaries.

Cons

Still in a preliminary stages of understanding the importance of interdepartmental cooperation.

Pros

Lightspeed have a fantastic interview process which allows them to find the perfect fits for their company, Once completed you are welcomed by everyone across 9 offices globally through video and one to one meetings and conferences. Lightspeed also offer you a welcome breakfast and free lunches not to mention lots of goodies to make you feel completely at home. The training you will receive during your first couple of weeks is second to none and you are helped every step of the way by a fantastic team of trainers. One of the biggest things you will notice is the diversity of their staff members and how well they embrace different cultures. I only joined the company a week ago and have never written a glass door review however Lightspeed has made me feel so welcomed and confident that I needed to spread the word.. So thanks again Lightspeed !!
