Ottawa, ONPosted Nov 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied online and the process took about a week.

In the interview, they started with basic questions about me and my life history. Then they moved into data structure types with examples, asking me to reason through how those structures behave.

After that, I was asked several coding problems in C++. They expected me to implement solutions, handle error notifications, and find correct solutions as I worked through the prompts.

I didn’t get an offer, and the main pressure came from needing to debug and produce working results rather than stopping at an explanation.
