I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Lightspeed in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview process started with a technical task from an open repository, which I completed in about 3–5 days. After that, I had a screening interview, followed by a technical interview. During the technical interview, we discussed my past experience and I was asked a few technical questions, which were straightforward.
The final stage was an interview with senior staff members. Overall, I really enjoyed the process. It was well-structured, clear, and professional. Everyone I spoke with was respectful and supportive, and I felt comfortable throughout.
I’m very happy with the experience, and even more excited that it led to a successful offer!

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Berlin) in Oct 2025
Interview
The whole interview process took around three weeks and included four stages. The first conversation was with HR, which was very friendly and welcoming. The second stage was a technical discussion focused mostly on fundamental topics, and it was a very positive experience.
The third stage was a more in-depth technical interview with two parts: one about my past experience and one coding session. Everything felt clear, structured, and logical.
The final stage was a cultural interview with three people. The questions were a bit more challenging, but still fair and meaningful.
Throughout the entire process, everyone I met was professional, respectful, and genuinely pleasant to talk to.

Question 1
One of the questions in the cultural interview was about a past failure I had experienced and what concrete steps I would take to prevent a similar situation in the future. They really wanted to understand how I reflect on mistakes and turn them into learning points.

Interview
The interview process was great and very straightforward. Had a chat with a member of the talent team after applying online. This was then followed by 2 rounds of interviews:
1. Interview with managers (1 hour)
2. Technical interview with senior/staff developers (1.5 hours)
The whole process spanned about 3 weeks. Everyone was very engaging and a pleasure to talk to.
