I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smooch (Montreal, QC) in Oct 2018
Interview
On site interview with 2 engineers and 1 hr staff. The interview lasted 1h 45minutes. The first half was behavior questions followed by a coding challenge at the end. The company is a startup so the office looks kinda messy, almost like a Starbucks. Interviewers were friendly, and a hr staff was there to help with the process. They will go through your c.v and ask about your personal projects.
The coding challenge is exp based. And they will guide you through if you ever get stuck. You can also use external sources to help you. But do make sure that you have a good understanding of asynchronous programming.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
With some existing code, create a promise and generate some numbers.
The interview process was quite enjoyable. The first part was an HR interview to know if I was a good fit with the team. Then the technical interview was pretty straight forward. The first part being a coding challenge and the second part being a system design question.
