Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada

January 5, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

After the recruiter screen, I was sent a CodeSignal technical assessment and a general IQ/logic test. There was no LeetCode. The technical assessment felt quite real-world and fair. However, it is multi-step and must be completed in 90 minutes, so I was extremely pressed for time. It sounds obvious, but do it in the language you feel most comfortable with. You're allowed to do syntax lookups, but you won't have time.
