Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada

July 17, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Kinda strange, disjointed interview process:

  • Recruiter call
  • Coding interview
  • Manager call
  • System design interview
  • Coding interview
  • System design interview

Some challenges were relevant to Reddit; others were asinine LeetCode-style trivia. Some interviewers were chill to talk to; others seemed distracted and disinterested in being there. One interviewer wanted to brag to me about offers they had received from FAANG companies, which was pretty weird.

A mixed bag—seemed kinda disorganized. The recruiter ghosted after the loop.

Questions

LeetCode tree DFS question, log parsing question, design a high-throughput messaging system
