After applying, I completed an online assessment with two algorithm-focused problems. One was a sliding-window task and the other involved binary search. It felt less like vague theory and more like recognizing the right pattern and implementing it within the time limit.

After passing, I moved to coding-first stages. In one round, I implemented a queue using two stacks, working through the mechanics and making sure the behavior matched what the interviewer wanted. The impression was that correctness and the way I explained the solution mattered more than speed alone.

The technical portion stayed around average in difficulty, though the range of topics mattered. I did not get to an offer. Looking back, I did well on the core patterns but did not fully turn that into a final positive decision.

Location: Canada. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
