Tons of growth, high performance culture
Pros
Honestly one of the highest performing cultures I've been a part of. Some of the negative reviews you’ll find are from folks who couldn’t keep up with the pace and were let go. The work is fast-paced and challenging, but it is also why Lightning has over 200,000 users in < 10 months and over 150 million downloads. If you're looking to just "coast" this is not the place. Every day feels meaningful, and the high standards ensure you're always growing alongside talented people. The company is quick to manage out poor performers, so you’re surrounded by people who are aligned and driven.
Cons
This environment isn’t for everyone - things change fast, and expectations are high. You need to be adaptable and self-motivated to thrive here. Feedback is blunt and direct. If you’re not comfortable with straight talk, it might feel intense, but it’s always focused on outcomes, not personal attacks.
