I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Lightspeed in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview process was 4 steps including the initial call. I found that every step was very necessary, as it measured another skill, and I didn’t repeat my words.
1: Initial Call
2: Hiring Manager
3: Case Study with Colleagues/Stakeholders
4: SVP
After the call with SVP, I think there is a process in the background for your reference checks, and if everything is well, you receive an offer call.
My favourite step was the case study, as they give a lot of freedom to participants, and I’ve enjoyed demonstrating my thinking skills and my creativity in finding the right customers to do user interviews.
A cool thing about the Lightspeed’s process is that they always come back quick after the call for the next steps, either on next day or in 2 days, so no long waiting times except between the SVP call and the offer call, which is why I think there might be a reference check going on in the background.
Another cool thing is that they are very flexible when it comes to finding you the right position. During the initial call and the hiring manager call, they’ve realised my skills and interest in a topic, and asked if I’d like to be interviewed for a role in that field, which was not revealed yet. I was very happy to hear this and accepted their suggestion, which ended up as a good case study work.

One of the smoothest and most positive interview experiences I’ve had. Everything from recruiter call to offer was completed within three weeks. The team was respectful, engaging, and genuinely interested. The process felt well-structured without being stressful. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, making the entire experience efficient and uplifting.

Interview
The process was structured very well, even though updates on the next stage took a while and because HR went on vacation, I had to speak to 3 different people from that department alone. But their handover to each other was seamless. Case study was a lot, I left the execution part mostly out because I thought 1) my CV already shows I can deliver things 2) execution is something you need to work on with the team as a PM, you can't decide it alone. But it was a wrong decision on my part and cost me the job.

Question 1
When I was delivering the case study, the team wanted me to describe execution in detail (the case study was to design the product I would be working on from scratch).
