The interview process consisted of four stages: - Initial conversation with the recruiter - Technical assessment with the team (coding exercises, technical questions) - Interview with the team manager - Final session with the technical team (focused on architecture and problem-solving discussions) Interview processes can often be daunting, but the team at Lightspeed designs questions that encourage critical thinking and allow you to articulate your thought process. This approach provides room to showcase your experience without the pressure of delivering a “perfect” answer immediately. I had engaging conversations with the team; they created a welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to feel at ease and confidently demonstrate my expertise.

In the standard 3-round process, the decision-making process was slow, it took 2 weeks posts the final round to get an update, despite the HR promising to get back within 48 hours
