Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Amsterdam) in Feb 2023

Interview

It was good. I was surprised that there were 3 rounds, but I think this also gave me the opportunity to meet more people and to be sure I really wanted this job. I was very nervous to find out if I got the job or not, the 1,5 week I waited for the answer felt like the longest ever, but I was very happy I got the job.

Interview Questions
  • What was my previous experience and how do I handle certain customers.

I applied online. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Sydney) in Feb 2023

Interview

My first interview was with Marty, he made me feel comfortable and even gave me feedback about how I answered the questions. Next I met with Patrick and Ritta and I felt very comfortable spending 45mins with them going through my work history and answering all their questions. My last interview was with Ritta and Jackson and was in the form of a role play, it went well and they gave some great feedback. Everyone I spoke to was professional and lovely to deal with.

Easy Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Toronto, ON)

Interview

Long, confusing, opaque, and not as initially advertised by HR. Scheduling was off, communication scattered. Sensed the hiring team to be amateurish and sloppy. The sense is also that the team is operating within a chaotic and unstructured environment which can lead to over-work. Was told by a member of the hiring team that it’s not unusual for them to put their kids to sleep and log back in to finish work. My internal reaction? If you manage workload, prioritize effectively, and work in a well organized environment, you shouldn’t need to do that on a regular basis. Please stop glorifying a lack of work life balance in the legal profession. It’s really not a good look. Had every intention of declining further interviews or an offer after I was told at the 4th interview that there were still 4 candidates in running and that there may be 2 additional interviews. Overall, the experience made me realize how good I have it in my current organization!
