I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at the LEGO Group (London, England)
Interview
I applied on the Lego careers website at the beginning of October and had a screening call with the talent acquisition member. After that I was told that all applications will be reviewed by the hiring manager and the outcome will be notified after 14th November.
Got no update, so I followed up a couple of times with the talent team, but didn't get any feedback! Then I received an automated email saying my application has been unsuccessful, again in a few hours I got another email saying ignore the previous email as that was sent in error, my application is still in process and someone will be in touch for the next steps.
It's Dec now, no further communication received from anyone, my application status still says "pending interview".
Overall, I haven't had a positive experience with Lego careers. If they need good candidates, they need to move fast..Given how big the brand is, they seem to be taking candidates for granted.

Other Senior Engineering Manager Interview Reviews for the LEGO Group
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at the LEGO Group (Kopenhagen, Region Hovedstaden) in May 2024
Interview
Overall very good impression. Application process itself was a little off in my opinion, e.g. I delivered a CV with career details, but I was also asked to fill in career details in a table format in the recruitment platform which is very time consuming. Interview process was smooth and fast, and everyone I met was very welcoming and skilled.

Question 1
They asked me to solve a code challenge, list software development good practices and gave me a management related case. All this was pre-work.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at the LEGO Group in Feb 2024
Interview
There were a series of interviews with different LEGO representatives across the teams I would be working with. These ranged from fairly informal discussions about my past, how I work, and how I would deal with situations, to talking through familiar technical systems and explaining rationales and the roles I played in forming them.
The interviewers were all very friendly and knowledgeable and did their best to make me feel comfortable, whilst doing their best to evaluate me through a series of questions that were directly relevant to the role.

Can you talk through a time when something you did went wrong or was considered a failure?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at the LEGO Group in Dec 2023
Interview
Fast and efficient. First two interviews were about personal introduction and introduction to the job. Here both parties can see if you are a potential match for the job.
The third interview consist of researching and presenting a case to your future team. Here the team can see how you would perform in a similar work scenario and what your communication and technical skills are.
