Pros

- Very good pay, quite unusual for Georgia - Nice office, remote-friendly, can work from abroad for two-three months (depends on where you're going) - A lot of projects, relatively easy to pick one that is more interesting - Access to all modern development tools, AI, etc.

Cons

A lot of 'Russian' corporate culture - long hours expected, a lot of information is 'assumed knowledge'. This is slowly improving, and the Russian-speaking teams are getting more integrated into the worldwide company that Lightspeed is.

Pros

-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.
