Process
The interview was pretty quick. The virtual interviewer did not maintain eye contact and kept looking elsewhere, which made me unsure if he was paying attention.
I was told there would be a coding and systems design interview, but I never received one.

Hire and fire
Senior QE Manager • Former Employee
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
September 1, 2025
Pros: Great benefits and good salary.
Cons: Hire and fire culture.
Some directors (withholding names) just hire for their teams then quickly fire them to increase their hiring counts, which is one of their performance metrics.
2.0
High-pressure culture without high-pressure rewards
Engineer • Current Employee
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
November 2, 2025
Pros: Get to work with cool tech, and there are some great people here.
Cons: The comp team doesn’t understand Canada and market norms. It’s this constant pressure to raise the bar for average pay. I believe this is worse outside of engineering too. There’s no RRSP matching, even though the recruiter promised it was coming during my recruitment process. There are no bonuses. The company outsources lots of functions to save costs – doesn’t really scream “cares about local communities” to me. Hiring and promotions are slow due to zero headcount growth over the last three years.

Cons: Complex marketplace: Tech debt and edge cases; experiment cleanup.
Coordination-heavy across teams; occasional on-call and reliability pressure.
