Markham, ONPosted Apr 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a multi-round loop that mixed interviewers focused on day-to-day fit, with at least one technical evaluation, and it took over a month to reach a decision.

Recruiter screen — A discussion of my background and interest in the role, typically ~30 minutes, sometimes involving HR plus a hiring-manager-side participant.
Manager/technical specialist round — A ~1-hour interview with a hiring manager and technical specialist, centered on detailed, role-relevant questions plus several behavioral prompts in STAR format.
Technical interview — A hands-on Python exercise where I wrote multiple functions and connected them into an end-to-end process; other experiences emphasized that questions mirrored day-to-day work rather than generic
