Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Ontario
Process
My experience was good.
I applied using a referral from a random dude I met on Blind, lol. I did not even plan to apply that early as I thought I was not good enough.
The recruiter reached out and scheduled the OA. I did an OA and did not pass some test cases for one of the questions, so I thought I failed, but nah.
I got a call from a recruiter saying they wanted to schedule an onsite.
Questions
Some questions were from LeetCode, and some were custom. There were a lot of LPs. Every interviewer showed up on time and was helpful during the interview. They let me ask questions, and overall, I had a nice chat with everyone.
