Very weird. I just had an introductory call with the recruiter for 15 mins; thought it went well; there were no red flags but got an automated rejection the next day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduce yourself, why RideCo, are you comfortable commuting, salary expectations
Very friendly interviewers - Multiple (3-4) interviews that could be done in only two + Take home task. The job description doesn't match their need (they make it shiny while actually you will work on something else).
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RideCo (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2021
Interview
Consisted of about three interviews, and three tests.
First interview (Introduction): This was a preliminary interview to get to know the candidate and also to let you know about the company. You are asked about your job experience, what work you do and the like.
Second interview(Technical Interview): Your technical skills are evaluated, various questions are asked including your stack, your knowledge of various tools and your preferences. This stage includes a live coding session at the end. It's a simple algorithm test.
Take home test: After the technical interview you are given a take-home test to develop a simple full stack application.
Third Interview (Technical evaluation by members of the team):
This interview is a more rigorous look into your experiences and capabilities. Similar to the technical interview but this time around top officials are evaluating you.
