Software Development Engineer I Interview Experience - Toronto, Ontario
Process
I received the interview invitation two months after submitting my online assessment.
The technical questions were not difficult; I was able to solve all of them optimally. However, I believe I fumbled some of the behavioral questions, which ultimately led to a rejection.
It is disappointing that they do not share feedback after the interview.
