I applied online. I interviewed at Lightspeed in Oct 2020
Interview
I was very excited about getting to interview with Lightspeed as I had read a lot about the company, industry and growth. I had a first round phone interview on October 16th with a Canada based hiring manager. She was friendly and gave me a good impression of the company and I thought the interview went fairly well. She told me she would get back to me by the next week and my instinct was I would be invited to the next round. I never heard back...not a rejection or anything. I realize HR professionals have a lot on their plates but being totally ghosted has never happened to me. A month or so later I emailed her just to know what happened and nothing...Anyways, it was sad to see this is how they treat candidates and choose to respect their time and effort.

Interview
I went through about 3 stages which i've highlighted below: Applied, got a call from the hiring manager, virtual interview with one team member, was given a take home assessment, presented the assessment to a larger team, and was given an offer. At each point I was asked relevant questions to the role and also questions around the case study assessment I submitted
