Software Developer Interview Experience - Toronto, Ontario
Process
There were two interviews. One was just HR calling to ask what I do and all that, and another was a technical, one-hour interview with medium algorithm questions and a discussion of the projects I worked on.
When I emailed HR about the feedback, she said they would get back to me when there was an opening. However, she never did.
Additionally, she initially 'forgot' to call me for my phone screening interview.
