Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada

April 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

10 min call from recruiter that noticed me on Linked In.

30 min call with hiring manager to get some background information from me and describe the company / role.

30 minute call with senior engineer to do a generic technical screening problem

4 hour onsite interview with 2 people at a time, for 45 minutes per round. 2 / 3 rounds were logic puzzles, high level architecture questions, and a technical problem solving session with a problem they face internally.

The other round was more background and behavioural for culture fit.

Overall I enjoyed the communication and method for assessing my skills and fit. The only part I did not enjoy (and hence the negative review) was the way it ended. The recruiter ghosted me with no feedback which I would have liked, but at least a courtesy email would have been nice.
