I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Demonware (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2025

Interview
To apply for the position, I submitted my resume through my university co-op program and took an online coding test using Codility. The coding test was extremely fair with a very generous amount of time provided, and it involved demonstrating my problem-solving skills.
This was followed up by a recruiter from Activision Blizzard contacting me about the position, and asking a few questions about my availability. I was asked to email my resume, cover letter, and transcript. An interview over Zoom was then scheduled.
The interview was with two members of the DEPCON team, and the interviewers were very friendly and knowledgeable. They asked me a number of technical questions about data structures, networking, Linux, and troubleshooting.
