      Product Designer Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Montréal, QC) in Jan 2017

      Interview

      The process took three weeks. About 30 minutes after I sent my portfolio, HR called me back to schedule a first interview over the phone the next day as they seemed eager to meet me. A few days later I met with three different people in their office for about 1 hour each person. The interviews were one on one and they were challenging. The questions almost were exactly the same with each person, but each had a completely different idea of what the job is. One suggested that my experience in UX wasn't needed and that they wanted someone with strong visual skills, the other wanted an all around UX/UI designer and the last one said I HAD to know how to code iOS applications. Despite having to adapt to each person and cater my answers to give the best and most honest impression, I did well and they called me back the same day to do a design test. Here is a copy-paste of the assignment sent: ------ Requirements Design a visually appealing checkout to finish a sale. Requirements • 1024x768px canvas • Design this in your own style NOT Lightspeed style • Must include: Products, Totals & Payment type • Describe at least two design choices you have made Deadline One week. ------ I submitted it before the deadline and made sure to ask HR if I did indeed follow the requirements, they told me that I did and I would hear from them shortly. Two weeks later and still no follow-up so I emailed them. The response was that they didn't retain my candidacy before although the work was very well execute and visually striking, it lacked context because I only submitted one screen. I replied back by expressing my confusion and disappointment considering that I had followed all the requirements and never heard from them again. Not only they took a lot of my time (work and personal), they never followed up and finally they gave me a nonsense excuse for not hiring me which is unprofessional and frustrating.

      Product Designer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Lightspeed (Erevan, ) in Sep 2024

      Interview

      I recently underwent the interviewing process for a Product Designer role at Lightspeed, and I must say, I was thoroughly disappointed with how they managed communication and feedback. I dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to complete a detailed task as part of their recruitment process, which involved redesigning an iOS screen for managing calls. My commitment involved extensive research and the creation of high-fidelity mockups and prototypes based on this. Initially, feedback from their design team appeared positive. They commended my research and the quality of work produced, even scheduling a session to present my solutions. The designer I presented to reacted positively, promising contact by a specific date. However, this was where the professionalism ended. I waited over two weeks with no follow-up communication, and my attempts to get an update were ignored until I pressed further by contacting another recruiter. Finally, the feedback I received was both discouraging and contradictory to the earlier comments made during my presentation. They praised my research skills and organization but criticized my ability to set clear goals and defend solutions, which was confusing as the positive reinforcement during the hiring process suggested otherwise. What made the experience particularly frustrating was the lack of respect for the time and effort candidates put into their process. Insufficient communication and delayed, inconsistent feedback made the experience not just unprofessional, but also highly discouraging. I urge other designers considering opportunities with Lightspeed to be wary of these challenges. It seems that the company's current recruitment process doesn't value candidates' time or provide a consistent, transparent approach to feedback. This experience showed a clear lack of consistency and respect for prospective employees, leaving much to be desired from a professional standpoint.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The primary task assigned by Lightspeed during my application process for the Product Designer role was to redesign the iOS screen that allows a user to accept or decline an incoming call while already engaged in another call. The existing design had been criticized for being outdated and inefficient. The objective was to create a more intuitive and user-friendly solution that leveraged research and user feedback to address these concerns effectively. The required final deliverables specifically included a high-fidelity mockup and a prototype of the proposed design, ensuring that the solution was both visually appealing and functionally practical.
