Entretien
As I understand it, Lightspeed uses the Inform group to hire people from countries other than Montreal. After the people manager entered the room, not 10 seconds after the interview had started, the People manager asked me if I was open to working on a North American shift as the position was for a client from the USA.
If only they included that information in the job description from the beginning, they would have saved me and Lightspeed a lot of time and energy.
Hope the Inform Group and Light speed doesn't waste their customers/clients/potential employees time like they've done mine as a matter of course, as this is a very bad sign. All the technology in the word and the best CEO ever won't help you if the basic information isn't provided to your clients/customers/potential hires, etc.
Unless this is a way to inflate KPI's, this doesn't make sense at all from a people perspective.
Do better.

One of the smoothest and most positive interview experiences I’ve had. Everything from recruiter call to offer was completed within three weeks. The team was respectful, engaging, and genuinely interested. The process felt well-structured without being stressful. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, making the entire experience efficient and uplifting.

The process was structured very well, even though updates on the next stage took a while and because HR went on vacation, I had to speak to 3 different people from that department alone. But their handover to each other was seamless. Case study was a lot, I left the execution part mostly out because I thought 1) my CV already shows I can deliver things 2) execution is something you need to work on with the team as a PM, you can't decide it alone. But it was a wrong decision on my part and cost me the job.

Question 1
When I was delivering the case study, the team wanted me to describe execution in detail (the case study was to design the product I would be working on from scratch).
