Junior Software Developer Interview Experience - Montreal, Canada
Process
Met with four different ranking individuals.
The first two phases involved solving a technical problem using a language of my choosing.
The first problem was to find all anagrams in a list.
The second was to find all paths from a point with integer coordinates to the origin, with only moves along the negative x-axis and negative y-axis allowed.
This was followed by a discussion of algorithm complexity and handling edge cases.
The last two phases were mostly a discussion about me as a developer and an employee.
