Interview process kicked off with a quick chat with their talent acquisition specialist just to chat a little about the company, the role and the process to come. The same day I was sent a document outlining a coding challenge which I had 5 business days to complete. The coding challenge was great, actually had me tackling a realistic problem and I was given free choice over tools used and frontend/full stack. As someone who was in the middle of a full stack course, it was a slight stretch for me but a great learning experience. I heard back within 24 hours. I was provided detailed feedback on my submission and was invited to schedule a technical/pair interview. Two devs from Lexicon met with me via Google Meet and we went through adding a feature to my coding challenge submission. The devs were very friendly and insistent that it wasn't a test but a pair session. I was able to ask questions and it felt very collaborative, which reflects the company's culture generally. After this I received some positive feedback on my attitude in the pair session and was invited to schedule a meeting with the directors of LD. I ended up meeting one of the directors and we had a casual chat in which we talked about the importance of Agile principles to the company and I asked some additional questions. Within a day or two of this conversation I received a phone call in which I was offered a full time position at the company. Overall my impressions of LD's hiring process are very positive. Everybody was very friendly and the technical aspects were challenging but rewarding with plenty of detailed feedback provided.

Overall process takes around 3 weeks, HR team is very supportive. I was approached by a recruiter from LinkedIn and had a HR screening for first round. Code challenge and upload to GitHub. Pair programming based on code challenge. Final round is to meet leadership team and culture fit.
