      Intermediate Back-end Engineer Interview

      11 Aug 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Lightspeed in Jul 2025

      Interview

      Had intro interview with talent specialist to get to know more about the role and so they could find out more about my experience. Got asked a few technical questions which seems odd as this was an initial interview not a technical interview. Interview seemed to have gone well and was told I would hear back the following week. Sent a follow up email 1 week after the interview and never heard back. Very unprofessional to ghost applicants.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What's the difference between SQL and NoSQL and what are the pros/cons for each.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What's the difference between monolithic and microservices architecure with pros and cons for both.
