Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.
HR reached out and quickly discussed experience. There was 1 round of system design after the HR call. There should be a coding round and behavioral round after that. Scheduling the system design wasn't that smooth. It took more than 2 weeks to schedule the first technical interview. HR was friendly and helpful, but the interviewer was late for the interview. I answered all questions but didn't get feedback.
Questions

It's close to Tier-1 in Canada.Cons: - Work-life balance is bad - Strict RTO - Quarter performance review - Check number of PRs
- 2.0(infra / software platform) Would not recommendSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaSeptember 27, 2025Pros: They have good lunch perks, and their actual colleagues are nice. Most devs want to work and do things.Cons: The work sucks. They literally lied about promo timelines, expectations, and the work in the interview and the recruiting sessions they held. It ends up being mostly dev ops work. The whole Software Platform org has lost most of its leadership and has the highest churn rate I have ever seen. More than half the people have left the company or the org of their own choice. Most managers and senior devs are checked out and waiting for their grants in March to come through and then will leave.
