Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada

June 11, 2024

Process

Received a reach-out from a recruiter on LinkedIn.

The process involved a recruiter call, followed by a technical screen, and then an on-site interview.

The on-site consisted of two programming interviews, one infrastructure interview, and one design/project explanation interview.

The technical problems were less LeetCode-style and had some system design flavor.

Interviewers questioned me about my prior work experience and asked intrusive questions, which made me feel bad about myself for a few weeks afterward.

I was subsequently rejected, pretty sure because I talked too much about my work break to one of the on-site interviewers.
