Great office, flexible PTO, remote work, free equipment, great people
Cons
Mid-level management unsupported and highly disorganized, uncomfortable conversations in office sometimes, a lot of favouritism, lots of overwhelm

Hi, thanks for your review - it’s great to hear that you enjoyed the office, the benefits we offer and also the people. We take your feedback and advice to management seriously and it's really important that all our employees (particularly new employees) have clarity on their roles and clear career pathways. We’ve been working on our career development pathways and aim to continuously improve our employee experience with input from our people. If you are open to it we’d like to understand the details behind what you’ve said here if you could reach out to our confidential email, people@lightspeedhq.com to give us specific feedback.
-Unlimited PTO - Use this, the company allows it. This is the main reason I stayed at this company for so long. If they did not offer it, I would have been gone within minutes.
Cons
-Low pay- the company makes up for not paying you by offering unlimited PTO
- They keep switching from Atena to Cigna, Kind of annoying when you already have an established PCP
- Constant layoffs, its a running joke in this company that when you become a Team Lead you are about to get laid off.
- Pay increase- Also it looks like when you start making too much money, prepare to get laid off. Accepting pay increases comes with less job security
- This job you need a lot of adaptability- you never know if you might come in and you have an increased amount of duties because they laid someone off - this increase of duties does NOT come with an increased salary/hourly wage either. You are just expected to take on other peoples job duties for nothing in return.
-Literally everyone is figuring out things on the spot, there are no tools provided to you to guide you through things. You just gotta figure it out as you go.
- The company asks for more than they give.
- The company has way too many meetings. You will end up sitting in meeting listening to other departments speak about things that have NOTHING to do with you. Time is not spent well here, time is wasted.
- The CEO is very boastful and braggy, like telling us things about his personal life that doesnt pertain to anything related to work in any way, shape or form disguised as " fun facts" when its just a chance to brag.
