Software Engineer Interview Experience - Waterloo, Canada
Process
The interview process was very smooth, friendly, and comfortable.
There's a 3-hour coding challenge involving a GET request, parsing and performing calculations on JSON data, and a POST request back. The coding challenge has no restrictions on the libraries you can use, and it's all done on their site.
After the challenge, there's a 30-minute phone screen, followed by a 2-hour 45-minute on-site (or remote) final round.
