Toronto, ONPosted Dec 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for Software Engineer with a heavy technical path, including a take-home and a longer 2-hour technical interview with implementation and system design.

Behavioral + short coding — I started with a behavioral interview, got some technical questions, and a short programming challenge on a coder pad.
Take-home project — I was assigned a take-home implementation in Python/Java.
2-hour technical (coding + system design) — I implemented a coding solution on coder pad and also discussed system design for hosting media/storage, including performance optimization and scaling past expected loads. Outcome: I didn’t move forward; the bar combined deep implementation with realistic system trade-offs.
