Software Engineer Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
Process
Remote screening and an onsite call.
I sent my CV through a contact working there already and progressed to the next stage. Unfortunately, I didn't pass the onsite portion.
The first interview involved an easy binary search-type problem. For the onsite, they asked multiple behavioral questions and I was given five technical problems. The most challenging was calculating the mean of an infinite series.
Questions
As I said, LeetCode medium problems were the most difficult for me. The mean of an infinite series of numbers was particularly challenging.
