I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sezzle (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2023
Interview
Applied online and got paired with a recruiter about 2 weeks later.
I was given a personality test along with what seems like an IQ test. After submitting the quiz I was given a 3 hour coding challenge.
The take home consisted of:
a front end part: simple react stuff, change a buttons css properly when clicked, handle the button state
Backend: string question, filter out any values that have null
And a simple sql join
After submission I was notified that I got a 100% test score. After 2 weeks I was given a generic rejection letter. No feedback.
I tried to follow up with the recruiter to get more info pre assessment, and post assessment to check my status and never got a response to any of the emails I sent. Looks like a dodged a bullet. Keep that in mind before interviewing!

Question 1
Build a react component for handling a buttons state
I applied online. I interviewed at Sezzle in Jan 2026
Interview
The process started with an online Wonderlic test followed by a three step Codility challenge. The tasks involved basic Express endpoints, a React debouncer, and a mid-level SQL query. An AI assistant was available for questions, making the challenge manageable. Results were provided immediately, and I scored 100%.
The interviewer mostly reading questions while an AI monitored responses, which made the interaction feel less personal.
I later received a rejection email without feedback.
The entire process is as exactly how they say it is there were no surprises. It as also quite short compared to other companies, definetely on the easier side of things.

Question 1
Previous work questions, like what I've done, what obstacles I've faced, how I solved them etc.
Primero se realiza una entrevista con el equipo de Recursos Humanos para validar la experiencia y el interés en el rol. Durante esta etapa también hacen algunas preguntas en inglés para evaluar el nivel del idioma, ya que es un requisito del puesto.
El siguiente paso consiste en una serie de assessments lógicos y técnicos. En mi caso, al postular a un rol Full Stack, respondí preguntas en una plataforma en línea sobre backend, frontend y SQL.
No fui seleccionado en el proceso, por lo que desconozco qué etapas siguen después de esa evaluación.

Question 1
En la entrevista técnica tuve que desarrollar una pequeña API que filtrara ciertos resultados. En la parte del frontend, utilizando React, realicé una llamada a un endpoint para mostrar y filtrar dicha información.
