Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
I met with a technical recruiter for about an hour to see if there was a culture fit.
They followed up promptly with a phone interview.
The process took approximately 2 weeks. They were very professional, prompt, and got back to me fairly quickly. The people I met seemed to genuinely like the company.
Questions
The phone interview lasted 30-40 minutes.
The first part consisted of going over general CS theory, basic algorithms, and data structure questions, and basic OOP concepts. It was mostly questions on general web development.
They are a web development company and seemed to be less concerned with algorithms. The emphasis was on prior experience with JavaScript and the various frameworks, Node.js, Angular, and any back-end experience.
There wasn't any particular technology, but they seemed more interested in overall breadth of web experience.
