Software Engineer Interview Experience - Montreal, Quebec
Process
The interview process went quickly. The recruiter was very responsive and nice, and made the whole experience 10 times better. The interviewers did not ask impossible questions and focused more on the thought process than the correct answer.
Questions
The first two interviews were LeetCode-like questions. Not directly from LeetCode, but if you know your data structures, you'll be good. The third interview, I had to prep a design document and share it. They asked questions about the decisions that were made and the rationale behind them.
