Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
Terrible experience. Everything felt superficial. The interviewers were basically just reading from a script and expected me to do the same, using the STAR method. One of the interviewers was also quite mean.
The four-hour interview loop felt repetitive. It seemed like they didn't genuinely care about the candidate, but rather just wanted specific checkboxes ticked for you to get the job.
Questions
