Software Developer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
Two phone screens followed by onsite visit, which consisted of 5 interviews with breaks for company-provided lunch and a coffee with a hiring manager.
Very friendly overall reception, I enjoyed the experience even though I didn't get an offer.
Questions
Mix of questions, fairly balanced across different topics related to the role. Not too hard, except the algorithms question onsite, which was one of those things where you either know the technique to produce a linear solution or you don't. Bad question, in my opinion, as all it would tell the interviewer is that you memorized how to solve this type of problem.

PagerDuty Work Experiences
- 5.0Great company, great peopleSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeToronto, CanadaApril 17, 2022Pros: Fantastic people to work with, and a truly great company culture which the company works hard to maintain. There is plenty of room for rising within the company, and growing oneself, which is strongly encouraged and supported. And work life balance is a real thing - including an extra day off every month for the entire company. Overall, the best company I’ve worked at.Cons: As any company grows rapidly, there is bound to be some missteps and adjustments needed, but they genuinely want feedback, and seek it out, and then course correct as needed. However, if being part of a rapidly growing company with the changes that entails, or being in an environment where you are expected to be open with proactively providing constructive criticism or feedback, for the greater benefit, are things that don’t suit you, this may not be the right place.
- 2.0No proper communicationSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeToronto, CanadaMarch 3, 2018Pros: Growing company with some potential to attract talented employees. Potential business model with some degree of proven success in US.Cons: Poor communication failed to build trust. No reason was given, and just a decision was made with no explanation. The team was not organized on defining requirements, or they were intentionally leaving them to interpretation.
- 5.0Good engineering culture, coworkersSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeToronto, CanadaMay 14, 2024Pros: Good pay, opportunity for growthCons: There is nothing I can think of.
