Lexicon Consultant - Software Engineer interview questions

Recruiter reached out to me asking me if I would consider moving into consulting based off my skills. 1 hour screening/introduction to the company. Got given a code base to get familiar with so in the technical interview I could extend on it. Technical interview was an hour and 15 minutes long. 30 minutes extending, 30 minute technical questions and 15 minutes of questions for the people interviewing. Got feedback from the tech interview saying that I would be a good culture fit and that my solution and reasoning behind doing things was good. Was told in the interview that they would be willing to train me in front end as I have worked only in the back end. But was told that I can't be considered for a consultant level role because I had no experience in testing and they needed someone for the role that would "hit the ground running" Was told that I may be able to continue the process as an associate consultant which was a step down from what I am currently doing so I declined.

Applied through a recruiter. First call to offer was very quick (about 2 weeks), very few delays experienced. Interviewed remotely for a role in Melbourne. A three step process of HR -> Technical pairing -> Meet the founders.
