CanadaPosted Aug 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I found the onsite coding difficulty exceptionally high, and the experience felt frustrating despite kind interviewers.

HR call — initial screening interaction.
Phone screen — a preliminary check before onsite.
Onsite — one behavioral, multiple coding rounds, and one system design round.
Coding expectations — I was asked questions that felt like leetcode hard-level problems, including an expectation to optimize from the start; the platform constrained approaches like brute force. Outcome: No offer; the difficulty bar and “optimized immediately” expectation made it feel harsher than comparable onsite loops.
