Software Engineering Interview Experience - Ottawa, Ontario
Process
The interviews were threefold.
I can't really provide much detail because there's an NDA involved, but the topics covered included arrays & strings, computation theory, knowing runtimes, and dynamic programming.
The first interview focused on how to perform operations using a simple machine. The second interview involved Python and recursion skills. The third interview was about dynamic programming.
