Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Kanata, Ontario
Process
I had a quick technical phone call, followed by an in-person interview a week later. I received an offer the following week.
The interview focused mostly on technical questions. I was asked to explain my reasoning for my design choices and to redesign it in another way, explaining my rationale again.
The interview was not too difficult, but it was not easy either.
