I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ARxIUM (Winnipeg, MB)
Interview
For my first interview I was required to do an in-person CAD test that took around 45 minutes. I had to recreate two parts that were given to me in SolidWorks. After this, I had 3 more remote interviews on teams that worked its way up the ladder each time until I was meeting with the head of product development for the company. All of this around the second week of February and my final interview was near the beginning of March, after which I was required to provide a transcript, and three references. They also mentioned that they would be doing a background check at some point as well.
Complete silence after this. I patiently waited two weeks for a verdict with no response, so I sent an email inquiring about the position to HR. Nothing. I sent another one week later in case they had missed the first one. Nothing. I even sent one outside of HR on the chance that the department had collapsed in on itself. Nothing. Ghosted after all of that time and effort.
Incredibly rude and unprofessional. If this is how they treat people, I should count myself lucky that I did not receive an offer.

Question 1
Nothing crazy, they mostly just went over the experiences listed on my resume and talked about them with me. None of the interviews felt very formal and were pretty relaxed.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ARxIUM (Winnipeg, MB) in Jul 2021
Interview
The interview possess was long and drawn out.
You also have to interview with the CEO to pass a vibe check after a lengthy take home project and an interview with the full team.
I think it would be more understandable if the salary matched the process

The one saving grace it there was not a lot of leetcode, the take home project was part of that.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at ARxIUM in Apr 2025
Interview
The ARxIUM interview was a very dynamic and well-rounded process. It included a mixture of different components, starting with live coding exercises that tested my practical problem-solving skills. There were also several technical questions focused on C# and the .NET framework, which assessed my knowledge of object-oriented programming, application design, and framework-specific features. In addition, I was asked to write and optimize SQL queries, demonstrating my ability to work with databases efficiently. The interview concluded with a few intelligence-style questions designed to evaluate logical thinking and analytical reasoning beyond just technical skills.

Question 1
One of the questions they asked was to explain locking and transactions in a database. I talked about how transactions help keep data safe and consistent, and how locking is used to prevent problems when multiple users try to access or change data at the same time.
