Lyst Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lyst (London, England (UK)) in December 2019.

Interview

Clear and straightforward interview process including
1) Short phone interview with HR
2) Case study with an international director by skype
3) Skype interview with VP International (many short case studies)
4) 2-round interview with VP Product and VP Sales
5) One more meeting with VP Internation (my potential manager) and HR to answer my questions

The process was very fast: the results were announced to me the same day, 2-3 h after the interview.

Interview

Phone screening with the HR --> online test --> first round with the SVP of International --> final round including (1) commercial case, (2) stakeholder management interview with the Head of Partnerships and (3) cultural fit interview with the Head of product

Three themed interviews in one day. A case study of choice, a technical deep dive and a cultural interview. Very structured and thought out. Friendly people, clear and professional communication from both the talent and people team. Great!

Interview

This is honestly the most frustrating recruitment process I ever had.

HR sounded nice and following our call, I was given a coding assignment to work on. There was some delay in them getting me back to the connection problem I encountered but HR apologised sincerely and it seemed to be a plausible reason. Straight after the problem was sorted, I started working on it when I was actually a bit sick because I didn't want them to wait for too long. The next day, when I was just about to submit my exercise, the HR got back to me saying they've decided to put the role on hold, which is extremely frustrating because I put my expectation and time into it whilst I was also working on another firm's case study. This was basically a waste of my time.

The interview obviously wasn't moving forward. However, I guess this could be a perfect indication of how disorganised this company is at least in terms of communication and how little respect they showed to their prospective employees. I noticed that when i applied for the role, it'd been posted 3 weeks ago so presumably, they had applications going and was keeping me only as an option, which was even more unfair!

I wouldn't consider applying for any roles in the company nor would I recommend this company to any of my friends.

Interview

Short phone call with HR. After I've received timed home assesment which took me around 2 hours and then 3 hours with engineers on site. Pair programming, design review and then cultural part.

I applied online. I interviewed at Lyst (London, England (UK)) in July 2019.

Interview

1. Online application
2. Telephone interview
3. Coding test
4. Onsite interview (with the VP Engineering and Senior Engineer), followed by programming exercises (with senior engineers). Ending with cultures and values interview.

I was always well informed by the HR, and their response was very fast. When I attended the onsite interview I thought the office culture and the people were great, and this made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process.

Interview

The recruitment process was pretty efficient. I had 3 stages in 2 weeks:
- an initial call with a Talent Acquisition Manager
- a video call with a UX researcher and VP of Product when I had to walk through a case study
- a final stage consisting of 3 rounds with 5 people in total. During one of the rounds I was asked about various scenarios and I had to explain how I'd go about answering particular questions.
I received the offer the following day after the interview, but at the end decided to go ahead with a different offer.
The team was very friendly and they're based in the most stunning office I've ever seen!

Interview

The interview process was in 3 stages. The first one being a phone call with Talent Acquisition. The next step was a video portfolio review where I talked through my experience and portfolio with two designers from Lyst. And finally a 3 part face to face where I had another chat about my experience, a UX task where I was asked to work through a problem and then more of a culture fit interview with two engineers.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Lyst (London, England (UK)) in July 2019.

Interview

Interviewed for a Director position in Marketing for their team in London. The process was very smooth and professional from first contact with the recruiter to final offer stage. I met incredibly smart people throughout the process, passionate for their product and customers. Communication was flawless.

Interview

Lyst reached out to me so I had a phone conversation explaining what they were looking for, whilst telling me that I would be a good candidate given my experience and ambition. The next part of the process was a take home technical test, which given the early nature of the test I was initially reluctant. However I was reassured me that this test was not just given to anybody and that I was only one of three completing it.
I go away and complete the technical test by creating a small mobile shoe app, taking 6 hours of my personal time. I sent this back within 3 days of our initial phone call.
After 2 days I receive an email saying the team were really happy with my technical test and they would like to offer me an face to face interview for the role. I confirm my availability and wait for confirmation on their end.
I then receive an email rescinding the offer of an interview based on the fact that I lacked the necessary experience.

It is very disappointing to be strung along and made to waste so much of my personal time to then be rejected based on criteria that could have been established from my CV.
