Lightspeed Senior Software Developer interview questions

On reviewing the take-home code assignment, it is mentioned that try to complete honestly what you can in 2.5 hours. I hard stop on 2.5 hours as the one who ran this through mentioned it. It is a trap. If you miss something better actually spend more hours to complete everything as they will use to decline you in the process even thou you will mention that is the next thing that you want to complete (as in everywhere from API doc to code comment). It is kind of fair if they refer to non-negotiable completion rather than feature completion. But they should have asked the interviewee how he is planning complete the task as the hard stop disrupted what he initially intended to accomplish when he actually miscalculated the hours spent (by a mere 15 mins left of work). If I spend 15 mins more minutes their only complaint won't be there at all. The question and take-home are very easy I still wonder why I failed, as the feedback only mention that single-item prioritization was not in line with what they expected on the overall submitted solution. Kind of unsatisfying as I felt the question asked was not even in-depth and felt like a question for juniors and not even intermediate. I was looking forward to a more in-depth profound question on the supposedly next interview step.

Cool process, starting from HR screening. Nice people and reasonable technical interviews for senior dev position. Professional attitude from interviewers. Very quick decisions from the company and well-organised hiring process. All questions from my side answered, even with extra call to talk with management to ask my questions before accepting offer.
