I applied online. I interviewed at Wattpad (Toronto, ON)
Interview
There were a few rounds, talking with the manager, HR and a coding interview. It took a while to go through the process which I assume was because they were talking to multiple people and they did not have the time/resources to schedule them in a shorter period.
The general interviews were good and helped me get to know the company and the projects. However, I did not like the coding part as I had to deal with a project with multiple files that I had to change, and keep track of what I was doing with limited time. I really preferred that we worked on one or two files on some online platform.

Question 1
For the coding part, it was more of a fill in the blank. There was a project with a bunch of files that I had to complete, add my own methods, etc. to it. I had to run the project on my own computer with the files that they had sent me beforehand, and then share the screen which was kind of a hassle. During the interview I had to go through all the files and change things here and there to make it work which was quite stressful.
I interviewed first with the recruiter. Then with the 2 hiring managers for a deep technical dive. There was a live-coding portion and systems design with 2 of their engineers. It was a fairly quick process.

Question 1
During the interview with the hiring managers, they asked me to tell them about an experience where I had conflicts with a co-worker and how it was resolved.
i had a single round of interview. they asked me about myself and my qualifications. although it was a technical interview they didnt ask any technical questions. the interview went well in my opinion but i didnt end up hearing back.
