I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Montreal, QC) in Sep 2020
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. Lightspeed assigns you with a talent guide to ensure that you can ask any questions along the way.
The process consisted of four rounds:
1) Met with the recruiter to discuss fit and ensure I understood the high level vision and direction of the company and was interested to continue.
2) Business case and behavioral questions with Senior Directors within the retail POS/E-commerce business unit.
3) Interview with VP product to review business case and expand on my Product Management approach and view of the market.
4) Behavioral questions tied to my career trajectory with Talent Partner.
The whole process took about 3 weeks from first contact to offer.
Overall positive experience. It was clear that Lightspeed is interested as much in the fit of the candidates as their skillset.

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.

Standard questions about experience/background, situational questions and a mini case study.

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).
