Process
I applied through my school's co-operative education portal.
I was given a HackerRank coding challenge.
Next, I had one round of a technical interview for 45 minutes with a software engineer.
After that, I completed two rounds of technical interviews back-to-back for 45 minutes each, first with a software engineer, then a manager.
