Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
The phone interview determined if you were suited for the position with an explanation of the actual hiring process, and then set a time and date for another set of interviews. It tested live coding skills in the preferred language, followed by a technical interview, a presentation of a project, and another coding challenge.
Questions
They asked me to code in my preferred language, and there was also a technical presentation of a project.
