Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
January 28, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days.
Got online assessment after applying. If you don't pass 100% test cases in all three parts, you are automatically disqualified. Not too hard if you have good LeetCode practice. Practice a few easies in C++. Also quickly familiarize yourself with Ruby syntax.
Questions
OA questions:
- First one in language of choice (LeetCode medium-hard level, 45 mins)
- Second in C++ (LeetCode easy, 10 mins)
- Third one in Ruby (simply looking for language knowledge, very easy, 5 mins)
