Montreal, QCPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I experienced a tough, high-volume day for the Software Engineer role—multiple coding rounds back-to-back, plus one behavioral style assessment.

Technical rounds (same day, very packed) — 5–6 interviews in one day, with 4 technical/coding rounds (45 minutes each) covering 1–2 problems per session; code was expected to be written on Google docs.
Additional evaluation — there was also a separate “easy to work with / thinking through problems” style assessment as one of the rounds.
Behavioral / hiring-manager style — a behavioral component was included alongside the technical work. Outcome: I didn’t move forward, and the main challenge was maintaining clarity and structure across many consecutive sessions.
