      Software Engineer Interview

      24 Nov 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shop Bonsai (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2020

      Interview

      Process was ok, very average. Technical test is huge though. They give you different options to develop during the test, but those harder obviously gives you "more points". Problem is their initial setup for the test is not 100% prepared, which makes you spend a lot of time only configuring stuff to finally do the desired task. Also, different teams have made the same question more than once, which gives me the impression that they are not communicating properly during the process. And the "final" interview took about 2 hours and 15 minutes. This is just too much time and absolutely exhausting.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      React and JS questions in general. what is virtual dom, what is jsx ? why browsers doesnt read jsx ?

      Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate any feedback we receive to help us better our hiring process. Since July when you interviewed, we've streamlined our exercise and put a better system in place to avoid repeat questions with the team, so hopefully, people have a more positive experience in the future. We'll take note of the final interview time feedback for future interviews too. Thanks again!

      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Shop Bonsai (North York, ON)

      Interview

      Replied pretty quickly and received an assessment from them. Their email says “please feel free to reach out”, yet, when part of their assessment doesn’t work properly and I email them I get no response.

      Question 1

      One typical algorithm question and logic problems.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Shop Bonsai (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      Their interview process is exactly as advertised in their job postings! A highlight and something I've never seen done before, were the 15min follow-up chats / retrospectives after each round of the interview process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q: Walk us through your day to day tech workflow. Q: How would you communicate tasks that are taking longer than expected?
