Interview
Applied online, and had screening call with Priyanka as the Talent Partner. She was polite and approachable throughout the process.
I met with the hiring manager next, followed by a technical interview and an architectural design interview.
The whole process took about 3 weeks. I felt Lightspeed really respected my time, with no over the top take-home technicals, but with a smooth and efficient process.
Also of note: In my screening I mentioned that my partner was due to be in labour for our first born at any moment. Priyanka and the team were both very accommodating and congratulatory. This was very appreciated from my side, and was one of the decisive factors in accepting their offer.

Interview
I had a very positive experience interviewing with Lightspeed. The entire process was smooth and quick—completed in about 3 weeks over four steps. It started with a 30-minute HR call, followed by a 1-hour technical round, then a take-home assessment, and finally a hiring manager round. Before signing the offer letter, I also had a 30-minute call where all the benefits were clearly discussed.
Communication was excellent throughout the process. Priyanka handled my profile with utmost professionalism, and Janice maintained great communication during all the meetings. The interview process was friendly and not intimidating at all. I felt well-informed every step of the way, which made my experience truly enjoyable.
The entire process felt friendly and professional, and I was never intimidated. It truly reflected the supportive company culture at Lightspeed. I highly recommend Lightspeed for its well-organized and transparent hiring process.
