Hi, thanks for taking the time to review and for the impact you're making at Lightspeed. It's great to hear that you’re enjoying the learning opportunities and the chance to work alongside great colleagues. We also appreciate your feedback on the complexity brought on by acquisitions — it’s something we’re actively working to streamline. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts!
Flexible hours, unlimited PTO, in a position to really grow after a few really rough years.
Cons
Too many "yes" people near the top. VPs and directors want certain things done that they assume it will get done even if you show them hard evidence that it's not possible. If you give them a time line, they assume you can do it In half the time which is not how I work.
Also there is a lot of " the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing"
