Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada

October 1, 2013
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter at my school's tech career fair. I had an in-person interview the next day. An hour after my interview, I received an email stating I performed well and that they wished to schedule a phone interview.

My phone interview finally occurred over three weeks after the initial interview. They had me program on a shared document, allowing the engineer on the other end to see my progress in real-time.

Unfortunately, I did not perform as well as I had hoped, and a day later, I received an email with a "thanks but no thanks" message.
