Thank you for your kind words! We often hear how Lightspeeders truly connect to one another, whether by learning and sharing knowledge or bonding over common interests. This is why cross-departmental communication is so important, and we thank for you the feedback. We aim to be proactive in order to minimise that gap, and understand that there are always improvements to be made on our end. Thanks again!

Pros

Fun place to work with good people, they listen and there are opportunities. Awesome benefits

Cons

Larger organization so it moves slower than the startups i worked in previously. Very sales driven, sometimes there isnt as heavy of a focus on content marketing, which was my department.

Thanks for leaving a review! We agree, content marketing is so important. We also know that we have a great team of creative people, so feel free to share your feedback with your manager if you feel like there is more we could be doing - we're certainly open to it!

Pros

If you want to work in an environment surrounded by passionate and motivated people, this place is for you. Lots of room to make an impact and lots of room for growth.

Cons

Company is moving fast, takes on a lot of initiatives and as a result you get asked to deliver a lot and sometimes get pulled in a new direction you didn't anticipate. But that's what makes it fun for us - may not be right for everyone though.
