Front End Engineer Interview Experience - Waterloo, Canada
Process
I applied for a new grad front-end engineer position through the University of Waterloo's job posting system.
I was contacted by a recruiter via email on a Friday, with the interview scheduled for the Wednesday of the following week. A meet and greet, an informal reception, occurred on the Tuesday evening before the interview.
I found the interviewer and employees at the reception to be very friendly. The 45-minute interview consisted of questions regarding my work experience and projects, followed by two technical questions.
