I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.

I interviewed for a position in Toronto, Ontario, in February 2025.

Stage 1: Pre-Screening I passed the pre-screening test with HR. I initially received a rejection, but later, I got a message saying it was a mistake (red flag?). By the way, HR was very professional and polite.

Stage 2: CodeSignal Test A two-hour CodeSignal test with a React CRUD task and a free-text code review task. It was easy-peasy.

Stage 3: Behavioral Interview A one-hour behavioral interview with the manager. I felt a connection and was really excited. The manager was amazing!

Stage 4: Live Coding A one-hour React live coding session with a Counter task. The interviewers were really nice guys!

Outcome And then, a rejection with "we needed someone with more hands-on experience." It was the exact same rejection that others have mentioned on Glassdoor. It seems the company isn't actually looking for anyone, as this Senior React Developer position has been open since the end of 2024 - more than two months now (red flag?). And during live coding interviewers told me that they have no idea for what team they are hiring (red flag?). It seems Arctic Wolf is not looking for a Senior React Developer right now and it is more a ghost job, and this is sad.

What did you do when you missed a deadline?
