I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at TechGuilds (Toronto, ON)
Interview
The interview was purely technical, I was asked to create a static web page from a mock up.
It only needed HTML and CSS, no Javascript.
The CEO wasn't clear about what he wanted, he asked me to include specific images that the company itself designed but he didn't want to provide me with any pictures.
The pictures had very specific animation that couldn't have worked without the pictures but anyways the CEO didn't want to provide me with anything so I ended the interview myself.
