Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
The overall process was 5 parts but I only got through 2 interviews. The first interviewer was very nice and helpful, very conversational. The second one was not as approachable but still nice. He seemed a bit busy.
Questions
The first one was okay, asked basic Python questions verbally. Then multiple choice Python questions where you had to justify your answer. Then a LeetCode medium. The second interview went straight into a HackerRank LeetCode easy/medium. I struggled towards the end. Did not continue in the process
