Pros

The people at LightSpeed are Amazing to say the least. I really enjoyed going to work and interacting with my friends there. To this day, I am still in contact with my previous colleagues. The culture is very vibrant and fun, you get to work in a dynamic environment. Always fully loaded kitchen and the facilities are amazing. I also want to give a shoutout to Amir, one of the best leaders at LightSpeed. He's really fun to be around and he actually cares about his team. Always willing to help out and go the extra mile.

Cons

There a lot of cons. The working hours are pretty harsh and especially during end of month, you are expected to stay and grind even when hitting target is literally impossible. The targets are extremelly high and when I say extremelly high I mean it. Every single month there would be 1 person hitting target out of the whole team (11+) . It's a pretty depressing feeling when you go to work every single day knowing you pretty much have no chance of hitting your target but you still have to put on a smile and pretend like everything is fine. Manager are great but sometimes I did not like the fact that they would have team meetings to setup extra incentives that are even harder to hit than the targets themselves. Like seriously ?

Pros

The company promotes inclusive values and teamwork is highly encouraged

Cons

Team leaders and most of management in the support department seem to be disconnected from the rest of the company and support as a whole does not seem to be a very high priority regardless of what leaders say

Pros

There is free shirts/sweaters, there is foosball/darts/ps4, there is food/snacks, there is fair compensation, there is company stocks($$$) but most importantly there is care and understanding - and Lightspeed is not afraid to show it. Lightspeed is an organization, you will forever be glad to have worked for in hindsight. They are truly onto something profound and have an unshakable vibrant culture.

Cons

Not many restaurants around for lunch.
