CanadaPosted Mar 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After a referral-driven path into the process, I ended up seeing a pretty structured lineup of rounds.

I was told to expect multiple system design prompts, several coding questions, and a larger big-data coding challenge. Overall, it felt similar to other big tech interview loops I’ve seen—broad coverage across design and coding rather than anything narrowly tailored.

Even though the overall flow matched a familiar pattern, I didn’t end up getting an offer. The main lingering feeling was that it followed the standard playbook, and I couldn’t translate the interviews into a decision in my favor.
