Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
The interviewers were very nice.
Applicants are dual-tracked for PM and SE roles, but the interviews focused mainly on the technical side of things.
They didn't really care about language choice or writing 100% proper code on the whiteboard. They cared more about the solution and how I got there (more companies should be doing this, in my opinion).
