Toronto, ONPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I hit an online pre-screen that felt confusing and, in one case, derailed by scheduling issues—on top of a very nonstandard assessment.

Arctic Shores / game-based assessment — multiple game-like tasks to analyze personality traits and thinking styles.
Virtual interview invitation — after the assessment, I received an invite for an online interview.
Ridiculous puzzle/safe-unlocking assessment — instead of typical engineering evaluation, I had to complete a puzzle task for about an hour.
Scheduling mishap for interview — an email invitation conflicted with the actual meeting details (time confusion and missing links), and I struggled to get timely clarification.
Outcome: No offer; the process
