Data Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Ontario
Process
Terrible process. No wonder they let go of so many people.
First, a call with a recruiter who explained the next stages:
- Technical interview
- Manager interview
- Panel interview
I completed all of them. Then, a new recruiter with the biggest attitude showed up out of nowhere. They said I had to do another 9 hours of interviewing, with more technical tests and panel interviews.
The recruiter was a joke to deal with when I spoke to them. But hey, what else should you expect from a corporate giant with robots working!
