I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Toronto, ON) in May 2021
Interview
Smooth interview process broken down over 5 separate sessions:
1. Initial screening with Talent Partner to discuss high-level job experience
2. Interview with Director of Product to discuss job experience and thought process in greater detail. Following this call, 2 follow up interviews were booked and a business case was assigned.
3. Interview with Product team to discuss approach to making decisions and grooming product backlog. Opportunity to ask questions regarding business case.
4. 15-20min presentation of business case with product team, followed by Q&A.
5. Final interview with Talent Partner to discuss career trajectory and behavioural questions.
Overall, everyone in the process were super friendly and accommodating to work with.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How do you handle conflicting priorities and limited resources?
Straightforward 4 round interview process. The recruitment team was prompt and clear about each step and communication was transparent the whole way. The interviews themselves ranged from standard work experience/behavioral rounds with the HM/directors, a case study presentation with a panel, and an interview with the VP. Interviewers were all very positive and overall a very enjoyable interview process.

Pretty standard, 4 stage interview. The teams were friendly and personable. The case study was a little broad, but generally they asked relevant questions and were enthusiastic about the presentation.
