Software Engineer Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
Process
The first 10 minutes were for introductions and going through the resume. Then, the coding started with two medium LeetCode questions: one sliding window and one DFS. You needed to write down the full code and ensure it passed all test cases. The interview was a whole hour. I did not finish the second question, but the interviewer still waited for me for a bit.
