I applied online. I interviewed at Justworks (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2025
Interview
1. Online coding assessment (3 problems)
2. Engineering manager interview (30min)
3. HM interview (45min)
4. Onsite interview (3hr)
- 1 coding interview debugging a poorly written script
- 1 system design interview
- 2 behavioral interview with CTO and a product manager
I had a positive impression of the people in the office but the way the result was delivered was disappointing. After a full-day onsite, receiving automated rejection email with no context felt impersonal. The overall process was long and more intensive than expected for this role. Overall, the experience left me with a negative impression of both the process and the company.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
First call was with a senior engineer asking HR questions? Code signal assessment afterwards which asked you to do a lot in under 90 mins. Using map of maps, sorting, lots of tedious things. You have to finish each question in order (no skipping around). Did not even have to decency to send an automated rejection email. Just ghosted me after. Don’t waste your time.
