CanadaPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview was relatively straightforward and leaned on a simple coding challenge plus questions about my background.

There were leetcode-style problems, but they weren’t framed as extremely hard, and a lot of the conversation stayed connected to my resume and the languages I’d worked with.

On top of that, I got database questions and even a SQL problem—described more like a textbook exercise than something novel. I remember it feeling manageable overall, and the interview didn’t try to make things stressful. I wasn’t offered the role afterward, but the experience itself felt fair and not overly complicated.
