Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
The process took four weeks.
The process consists of an HR call, a technical coding assignment over the phone, and a half-day of on-site interviews including lunch.
- The on-site part has two coding sections, system design, and cultural fit.
Overall, the process is well organized. I wish more feedback could be provided when the company makes an offer. The system design section was the most complex for me, partially due to expectations not being totally clear.
Questions
The technical questions asked are not tricky. However, it's important to freshen up your algorithms knowledge. It's nothing sophisticated, and you are free to ask questions or use Google, but the time you have is limited.

- 5.0Great company, great mission, great peopleSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeToronto, ONJanuary 14, 2018Pros: The other reviews here speak correctly of the many pros of this organization. For me the most critical is that the fundamental mission is inspiring, worthwhile, and socially very important: make financial services super simple and accessible to everyone irrespective of income or net worth.Cons: It's a busy place with a lot going on. Generally each employee has a lot of autonomy and with that the obligation to take ownership of their domain and provide value to clients. Some people may find that kind of open-ended work situation hard to manage.
