Behavioral Presentation
The interview process started with a recruiter call to introduce the role, check my previous experiences, and assess my language proficiency in French and English. This was followed by a second interview which involved a two-part business case presentation that I had prepared beforehand, and I met with two Lightspeed members. The third interview was a discussion with my direct manager. I received an answer and an offer from Lightspeed the day after.

It was a really thorough interview process with 3 rounds. First, a phone screening with Talent Acquisition. Then, a video call with the Team Lead and Team Manager. The last round was supposed to be an in-person interview with the regional Sales Director, but we ended up doing a video call because of scheduling. They asked some really in-depth questions, but it felt super comfortable and I felt like they were genuinely interested in me as a person. Communication and feedback between stages were fast, and the whole process was really clear. Honestly, it was the best interview process I've had so far.

Completed 3 stages of the interview process: an initial screening call, an interview with the reporting manager, and a mock demo with the hiring managers. I was told I'd hear back by the end of the day, max by end of next day. After following up, I was completely ghosted. The attitude shown to candidates isn't professional. A simple rejection email would've been fine. Don't waste your time.
