Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Ontario
Process
I was in the first round of coding challenge interviews. Both interviewers seemed busy, and any question I asked took a few repetitions to answer.
The problem was easy: palindrome validation with a few extra characters in between the characters.
I received an automated email from the recruiter about not being selected.
