      Software Engineer Interview

      23 Apr 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Connected (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2014

      Interview

      In the on-site there were two interviewers, the junior interviewer seems straight from a fraternity. I was expecting any moment, he would use the words "bro" or "dude". Questions seem to blend between product design and technical. Therefore, there was always a confusion, do I explore the product design direction or the technical direction. The whole thing was an open-ended question with the classic blunder of you get to reach the "interviewer's own end", not your end. To be fair, this is a common thing in interviews. Interviewers ask open-ended question and expect the interviewees to go through the same path the interview would go. Both of the interviewers seem like program manager with a bit of experience in developing CRUD apps and site. To be fair, that's the type of product they develop, so the good thing is they ask questions related to the work you will be working unlike other companies who ask bunch of hard question you will never do in the work. However, I did expect a bit more technical depth, I was surprised by the blank stare from the junior interviewer when he heard the data-structure "trie". Pros: * Good friendly culture * Nice office * Quick feedback * No technical pretentiousness (e.g. we develop CRUD apps, but we like you to solve dynamic programming questions) Cons: * Brogrammer culture (there is a pretentiousness about company culture). YMMV; but some people will find it off-putting * Inexperienced (including the technical knowledge) interviewers, particularly the junior interviewer - I would never put him into interview; this reflects really bad on the company. * Way way less technical depth, YMMV. I was not offered the role; not sure, I would accept given the offer. It seems you will learn about product development, but nothing in technical knowledge.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Connected (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      There are a total of 5 rounds. One of the final rounds is on site as well for a few hours. This feels excessive for a small tech company in Toronto... First round with HR which was a pleasant experience. Second round is technical in a pair programming session using TDD with your choice of language. There was an engineer roleplaying as a Product Owner and another engineer writing the code and you guide the engineer what to do. Did not make it to the next round and there was no feedback. Some of the engineers looked like they did not want to be there.
