Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada
Process
- Recruiter phone call
- Manager video call
Recruiter was super nice and clearly explained the company and the position. I was really excited about the position because it seemed close to my past experience and would have helped me grow in the direction I wanted.
The call with the manager was just bizarre. They seemed uninterested right from the beginning, asked me some vague questions and hung up the call early. I got ghosted after.
The job gets re-posted every week.
Questions
The topics included behavioural questions and general programming knowledge.
