Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Kitchener, Ontario
Process
First, I had a phone interview with HR, and then a technical screen with an engineer. Two weeks later, I had a three-hour onsite technical interview with three engineers.
All interviewers were very friendly. They asked me to solve four to five LeetCode-style problems in total, and your performance depends 100% on your coding ability. After solving the problems, you could ask any questions you had.
One day later, HR will call you to provide feedback and the decision.
Questions
One Leetcode easy, two Leetcode medium, one Leetcode hard.
The last problem is quite hard but doable.
No complicated algorithms; most are data structures and string manipulation.
