Software Engineer Interview Experience - Montreal, Canada
March 29, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took one week.
They tried to pull a LeetCode interview with a whole list of items to "study". I declined. This is not a good way to evaluate senior engineers who have been doing development for ~15 years.
Questions
The process was typical LeetCode DSA geared towards fresh CS grads, not experienced devs.
