      Pros

      Environment, Leadership, Benefits, Transport, everything Lightspeed has to offer creates the perfect work place.

      Cons

      Little to no downside to report, communication between departments can be improved, but still works at a manageable level

      Pros

      The company has great potential, a lot of genius people and it's a young company. The international aspect makes it interesting, because you get in touch with people from all over the world. If you love drinks, partying and working extra hours with low recognition. This is the place for you.

      Cons

      I believe that Lightspeed can be a great company if you work in HQ Montreal. When I talked to colleagues from Montreal it was like they where talking about a whole other company. The culture difference was a big isseu to me, because it was not always appreciated when you share your opinion. The vibe in the office was like being at a student fraternity, not really the place for me. People gossip a lot to make themselves look better. If you are not a developer or in sales, you will not get the recognition you deserve.

      Great company to work for, but...

      Pros

      Great company with a great product and very talented young professionals in all levels of the company. Very much sales driven, which puts a lot of pressure on the people that need to get the sales admin done. Situated in cool locations / offices throughout the world.

      Cons

      Sales targets change: One day we're lookig at number of customers 'closed', next day focus must be on 'quality' customers (but still, sales is measured on number of customers closed). Selling to non-paying customers puts high pressure on finance, collections and reporting. Work/life balance is tough. Normal working weeks of 45+ hours, but often more.
