Pay in Canada is top-notch. Work-life balance is good.
The recent RTO policy is a deal breaker for caregivers. They are starting to mandate people coming back to the office with no solid grounds to prove the productivity boost whatsoever, despite people having questioned the policy on multiple occasions. From a caregiver's perspective, HR does not really consider individual situations, just redirecting the ask to the managers, where the managers ask employees to talk to HR. The decision process is extremely unclear and confusing. We don't know who makes the decision. Also, most of the team members are from different time zones, which renders the RTO useless, since there are no real team members there. This only makes meetings more difficult with lots of noise and limited meeting rooms. Despite senior leadership advocating for people to go back to the office, they are mostly still working remotely.
People have said enough before they opt to leave the company. I understand one employee leaving the company is no big deal, but when the policy hurts larger groups, things will be different.
Overall, okay, but the coding test environment is like a black box that you just can't debug. If you solve by debugging, you're doomed. LeetCode won't really prepare you for this.
This actually goes to Karat, who conducted the phone screening. Coding challenge: Similar to "Word Search" (LC79), but with one small change: we can only go either to the right or down. Karat feedback: Candidate missed a core logic to keep track of
The first round was a coding round on HackerRank. The question was to validate if a given set of strings represented valid IP addresses. The second question was on task scheduling, which was based on a hashmap.
