Software Engineer Interview Experience - Ottawa, Ontario
Process
The recruiter reached out to me and scheduled a coding pair-up interview. The interviewer wasn't interested and I was given 45 minutes to solve 3 questions. No help or input was provided in case of doubt; the interviewer himself didn't know stuff! I was promised a follow-up interview, but the recruiter ghosted for more than a week. I followed up to later find out they didn't proceed with me.
