Process

I applied through a recruiter, and the process took two weeks.

I got matched with Wealthsimple through a new recruiting startup. The interview process consisted of:

  • One phone screening with regular questions, expectations, and why I was considering moving.
  • One technical phone interview, which was a pairing session on a problem.
  • One homework, which was a code challenge related to the finance industry, taking less than two hours of development to do by myself.
  • Close to four hours of in-person interviews with multiple pairing sessions and cultural fit.

Questions
