C++ Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada
Process
I was given a task to design a system for processing incoming stock purchase orders.
This was a real-world task relevant to the company's line of business.
The task took three full days to complete.
The end result was that they obtained my work after three days of my time, and they provided bogus feedback.
This smells like a scam to get others to do their work for free.
