Only an initial screening was completed and no further communication was provided whether they decided to move with a different candidate or not. I have done multiple follow up with the talent acquisition team member who took my interview but no reply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Generic questions about projects I have worked on and sort of growth I am looking for at the company in next couple of years
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FreshBooks in Apr 2026
Interview
The initial interview was about 20 minutes and asked the most basic level questions.
For a senior position they asked zero senior questions.
They focused on which tools someone was using, which at a senior level is silly.
Tools are learned in an afternoon.
Systems thinking and engineering rigor are what should be interview for.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at FreshBooks (Toronto, ON)
Interview
It was boring 2 steps, one was a behavioural one with the team and the next one with hiring manager. This is a company that likes to waste candidates time. They have been looking to fill this position for well over a year. And I was rejected because I didn't answer behavioural questions, seriously is that the primary requirement for Data engineers.
