J'ai passé un entretien chez Fullscript (Ottawa, ON)
Entretien
It was easy and friendly. There were 3 rounds on interview. One with team lead, Engineering manager, finally HR. The on-boarding is a one week program and it is very detailed.

Question 1
About my past experience starting from most recent?
J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 5 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Fullscript (Kitchener, ON) en août 2023
Entretien
An initial technical recruiter interview, after which you get a simple technical challenge. If that is passed, you move to a 2-hour technical interview that has 2 sections (a system design and a real life scenario coding problem). If you scale through you then go through a final behavioural interview with an engineering manager.

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Fullscript (Toronto, ON) en juin 2022
Entretien
The final outcome was I didn't get an offer after having 4 rounds of interviews averaging about 30-45 minutes per interview.
Their feedback was mostly positive with the deal breaker reason being generic at best. Felt like they simply kept me in the loop as an option before they got their perfect fit.
Most of the interviewers were very decent people and even better professionals so I was hoping to expect a bit better and a more concrete review instead of being someone who needs to have a bit more "eye for detail" when writing code. The code related feedback would be something that would have appeared in the first interview so if they felt like that the rest of the three interviews really made no sense. Hence my deduction of keeping me as a fallback option. Appalling really.
I was asked to consider applying again later but if the prospect is anything like the ones I went through where I have to go through 4 rounds and uncompensated hours just to make myself worth considering to them I'll probably not consider it.
