Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada
Process
It was good. Started with technical interview. I was rejected so couldn't move ahead of that, but I was told there'll be 3 tech interviews, followed by a behavioural, and then possibly an offer. I wasn't really ready for an interview back then, so it's fair for them not to move ahead.
Questions
Basic and advanced Python questions, then asked me to explain my experience, and then a live HackerRank coding round, where they gave me the problem, and I was supposed to formulate an answer and code it out.
