Waterloo, ONPosted Jun 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a comparatively positive experience overall: rounds were scheduled efficiently, interviewers were respectful, and the questions were aligned with my background.

Recruiter or initial screen — quick alignment on my profile and the role.
Technical rounds — mostly medium questions, with some emphasis on DS/Algo fundamentals and coding; in one flow, multiple technical rounds could happen in a single day.
Manager/hiring leader discussion — a dedicated step with managers focused on current work and expectations.
HR wrap-up — the final conversation to complete the process. Outcome: No offer mentioned in every case, but the takeaway across these experiences is that the process felt ethical, respectful, and structured.
