Process
I applied online. The process took two weeks.
Headline: Disorganized Recruitment Process
Pros: Innovative use of AI-assisted screening tools.
Cons: The interview experience was hampered by poor communication from the Talent Acquisition team. My screening call was rescheduled three separate times. Despite these changes, the TA contact ghosted my follow-up requests.
Advice to Management: Respecting a candidate’s time is essential for employer branding. If a company is going to lean heavily on AI for efficiency, the human side of the process needs to be equally responsive and professional.
Questions
The questions were general, about my experience and relevance for the applying position.

Great place to learn and grow as a software developer
Software Developer • Current Employee
Toronto, ON
April 14, 2017
Pros: The company has a strong culture of shipping, and you can expect to have meaningful contributions to the product and customer experience from day one.
As a software developer, I'm given a lot of ownership over what I build, from technology choices to scaling. It's an exciting and supportive environment to work in, with lots of interesting challenges to solve.
Cons: Working at a high-growth startup can be a bit chaotic at times. You'll be expected to tackle new, interesting problems that may not be fully within your current area of expertise. For me personally, this is a great learning environment, but it may not be for everyone.
