University Graduate Software Developer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
A recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and set up a phone interview. The phone interview took place.
The screening was only 30 minutes. Personality questions took 15 minutes to answer completely.
Next, I had a coding question where I had to complete a function in a shared notepad. The shared notepad stopped updating midway, and I had to use an alternative link. This wasted a lot of time on setup, which made it hard to complete the question.
The coding question was difficult to complete in 10 minutes with no interpreter for testing. The interview was cut off at 30 minutes sharp.
