Software Engineering Intern Interview Experience - Canada
Process
I applied online. The application included some questions to check participants' interest in the company. After submitting it, I was sent a technical challenge. I did not pass this round.
Questions
The technical challenge was an easy algorithm question. (I do know the question changes depending on the year.) The format of the test was like contributing to open source, where I needed to fork the challenge repository, work on it locally, and then submit it on GitHub.
