Waterloo, ONPosted Jun 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a recruiter call, my timeline quickly became a sequence of interviews that felt pretty structured.

I went through an initial technical screen in a coding platform, then a first round made up of technical and behavioral interviews. Once I passed that, I moved into second-round interviews where I went through both more technical questions and a behavioral component again.

What stood out was how the questions stayed in the same lane—LeetCode-style coding rounds and a behavioral focus that tied back to past experience, teamwork, and how I approached problem-solving. Overall, the difficulty landed around average to difficult depending on the specific round, but the format itself was consistent
