Lynton Interview Questions
& Process

So first you meet the core team, they just wanna see what you're about and how you tackle problems. Then, you talk to some managers higher up, they'll ask you more about how you'd handle different customer situations. Finally, there's the CEO, which is basically a done deal, like a quick 10-minute hello.

The interview process was great. Since I was switching industries, I had a lot to learn. My now-manager, who I would be working under, was the first point of contact after I applied. Communication via email was good. We discussed my qualifications for the role and level, and then I was offered an interview. The interview was delayed because my manager was on paternity leave, which was a good sign about work-life balance. The first interview was with my manager. He talked about the company and role, then we discussed my current job and if the transition would be suitable. It was a collaborative talk where he shared his goals, and also the company's challenges and how they're trying to fix them. It was good that they acknowledge issues and work on them. The second interview involved my manager and two team members I now work with. They had diverse backgrounds and shared insights on being at the company long-term and joining from another field. They focused on the job itself and asked me to elaborate on my transferable skills. This allowed me to talk about familiar topics in my own words, rather than pretending to know a new industry. The third interview was with the CEO. He summarized my application and interviews, discussed the company's history, current state, and future, and asked about my personal and professional goals, explaining how my role might align with them. He shared a lot of company knowledge but was mainly interested in my motivations and background, showing trust in his managers. This also indicated a healthy work environment. All interviews were comfortable, informative, and encouraging. A potential issue was my two-month contract remaining with my previous employer. Due to ethical concerns, I couldn't break it. They understood, respected my situation, and offered a delayed start date, resolving the conflict. This final act from management solidified my decision to accept the offer. I accepted the role, and it has largely met expectations.

I went through 3 phases - behavioral, tech challenge, and panel interview. Everything seemed to go well. I was rejected after a few days. The feedback was vague, saying my skillset wasn't 'there'. It's odd since they moved me to the final interview after the tech challenge. I had reservations about this company from reviews, but I should have listened and not wasted PTO on this. My advice: avoid. Low salaries and being tied to Hubspot means you can do better. I already have a job and I wouldn't jump through hoops unless it was for a company worth it.

I went through four rounds of interviews. The first was a screener, followed by two interviews with the CEO, Daniel. The final interview was with the development team and was scheduled for an hour but ended up being two hours because they asked so many extra questions. In total, about 5 hours were spent by both sides. I was told I'd hear back in under a week, but 10 days later, after I followed up myself, I was ghosted. It's a shame because I've noticed that companies that do group interviews often don't know what they're doing and are the most likely to ghost candidates. Be careful with this company.
