I applied online. I interviewed at SOTI (Toronto, ON)
Interview
There were 2 coding questions, and both were from Dynamic Programming. It was kind of hard to me. The problem is a classic dynamic programming problem where we need to find the minimum number of hops to reach the top left cell from the bottom right cell. We can solve this problem by starting from the bottom right cell and moving towards the top left cell, keeping track of the minimum number of hops required to reach each cell.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SOTI (Mississauga, ON) in Feb 2020
Interview
It was 100% a technical interview for me, no behavioural questions. I reached out to a recruiter and we had a phone call where she asked me what kind of roles I was looking into, and then booked me for an in-person interview shortly afterwards (pre-covid)

Question 1
The first few questions had to do with Strings and Linked Lists, just general data structures questions. Then they asked 2-3 questions, something along the lines of how would you find the pairs (with a dictionary) and how would you find the missing number. It's honestly just annoying but its your basic code interview questions. Although, I don't think they are looking for your "thought process" they just want to know if you can get the answer
