I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Plusgrade (Montreal, QC) in May 2026
Interview
There were three steps to the process, technical skills review, soft skills review and a connection with the hiring Director. The process was very straight forward, the interviewers where polite/patient and the questions were reasonable. They were hard enough to expose skill gaps but not unreasonable for the role expectations.
What I appreciated most of all was the fact that the entire process only took a couple weeks from when I first reached out to the recruiter to the completion of the interviews and getting an offer.

I interviewed at Plusgrade (Montreal, QC) in Aug 2025
Interview
Initial screening interview, seemed to have went well. Not too difficult as it was a screening, but they decided on another candidate. Didn't get a chance to show my technical abilities in subsequent interview. Quick to respond.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Plusgrade in Jul 2023
Interview
I was asked questions about Java, RESTful APIs, Spring. I had to solve a Leet code task for about 5-10 minutes - the interviewers didn't insist on a working solution for this time frame, but were looking for logical thinking and an idea how to solve the task. There was also a discussion with a hiring manager about previous experiences and behavioral questions.
