Toronto, ONPosted Mar 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview process felt pretty structured and professional from the start, but the overall difficulty level landed on the harder side.

I got the sense that I was being evaluated not just on coding, but on deeper architectural thinking, because the questions pulled into detailed design and system reasoning.

I went through several rounds, and the feedback on my delivery seemed to be more about how I could stay personable and clearly articulate tradeoffs rather than simply delivering the “right” answers. Even though I didn’t end up getting an offer, it didn’t come across like they didn’t care—it felt more like they had a specific bar around architecture and fit that I didn’t clear.
