Software Developer Interview Experience - Waterloo, Canada

Process

After a one-hour technical screen, I was asked to come to their office in Waterloo for three one-hour technical interviews.

I had taken the day off and commuted three hours to Waterloo for this interview.

  • For the first interview, the interviewer was late by 20 minutes, and I only had approximately 40 minutes to complete the question.
  • For the second interview, there were issues with finding a room, so I started on a whiteboard early and then was able to begin coding 20 minutes later.
  • The final interview, however, was on time and without any issues.

I received a phone call with a rejection, stating that the first two interviews didn't go well. This was to my surprise, as I thought they would factor in the logistical issues and the lack of time into their decision-making process. The recruiter said it was unfortunate, as the decision had already been made.

I hope that the people in charge of recruitment at Faire review this to ensure it doesn't happen again, as it reflects poorly on them.
