Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took two weeks.
The overall process was really nice. I had an initial screening call with a recruiter, and then after that, I proceeded to a Coderpad. The Coderpad was a one-hour straightforward question to solve, and the interviewer was really nice about answering my questions. Once passing the Coderpad, I was asked to come on-site for an in-person interview.
The in-person interview was quite long, around four hours, with four different sessions covering a range of topics, both personal and technical. Everyone was really nice throughout the whole thing, and the questions were thought out and nice questions to gauge both your personality and technical skill level. The questions were relevant to their space and weren't overly complicated to solve.
