Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
Online assessment with 2 coding questions and about a 1-hour time limit.
The assessment was on HackerRank. Difficulty was okay; I had seen one of the questions before and was able to solve both questions under 30 minutes.
The next part of the online assessment was a simulation of working environments.
The last part involved making decisions on personality, e.g., "which suits you better" type of question.
Questions
One of the work simulations was about making decisions on what to do when a new feature is required under a tight deadline.
