Software Engineer III Interview Experience - Toronto, Ontario

Process

The recruiter informed me that there would be a one-hour screening round before progressing to five additional one-hour rounds.

The interviewer arrived nearly ten minutes late and spent the first twenty minutes reviewing my recent architectural contributions on a virtual whiteboard.

With thirty minutes left, they shifted to coding, which was more complex than expected, involving a lengthy object-oriented code task that typically requires over an hour to solve.

Poor time management and structure were evident. I only learned in the final minutes that they’d assigned the wrong interviewer for my level.

Additionally, despite encouraging an expedited interview, they initially scheduled me and then rescheduled to a later slot, reflecting unprofessional planning on eBay’s and/or the recruiter's part.

Questions

Explain your architectural contributions in your most recent workplace. Elaborate on the old and new system designs by drawing on the whiteboard.

Java OOP code: Online order fulfillment algorithm for minimizing delivery costs by finding the nearest warehouses where user's order items are available.
