I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ecobee (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2017
Interview
Terrible HR! First, a member of HR team scheduled a day to call me and forgot! I sent her a reminder and she said that it was a mistake and she will schedule it for the week after. She finally called me and the whole interview was like 5 minutes. She had no idea what she was looking for and instead, she asked me what I'm looking for. I told her about my experience and expertise, she replied with so much attitude: "we don't have that here" then she said maybe the Mobile team has a position for me and she will let me know about it.
It didn't even take 5 minutes she emailed and mentioned that I'm "too" junior for their mobile team. All my coop terms are mobile development working on apps with 80+ million users, I have launched many apps on store during coop and on my own. I have launched an app that is funded by FBstart program and overall I have 3+ years of experience with mobile development. She even spelled my name wrong! If you think I'm not a good fit why do you even contact me? I'm so glad I don't work for your company. So unprofessional!
