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.

Pros

Nice people, good perks (food, RRSP…), amazing office, growing.

Cons

I’ve been working for some time in payments at Lightspeed. I was lucky enough to work on high impact projects with some remarkable people. Unfortunately for a few months now, the team has been in a painful downward spiral. Culminating today with an appalling product vision. If you consider joining Lightspeed, be sure to select your team carefully. Ask to meet as many of your future colleagues as possible, and not just devs.
