Interview
After 2 phone screens with a recruiter and an engineering manager I was invited to interview at their office in person. After a typical "leetcode" kinda session with one manager, another where I was quizzed on my databases knowledge, and a third culture interview, the recruiter comes back in and tells me that the first 2 interviews "didn't go as well as they had hoped :/" and says they weren't going to do the last one so they wouldn't "waste my time". I guess I do appreciate the transparency and what else are you gonna do if an applicant doesn't perform up to company standards & I had already wasted half of my day there but wow I have never felt STUPIDER in my entire life ezCater thanks for a great interview.
Overall i had a great experience. First round was standard recruiter screen and then hiring manager interview. He also tested on little bit of design skills and a leetcode medium (twisted) style problem.

Interview reflected the culture described in the genuine reviews - the interviewers didn't display an ounce of humanity. They paid no regard to the fact that some people do not feel comfortable with multiple strangers staring at both your face and your shared code screen. Even when communicating this, they force you to continue instead of providing an alternative or at least letting you turn off your webcam. They came off incredibly creepy.

TLDR: DO NOT INTERVIEW WITH THEM!!
I recently interviewed for this company for the Software Engineer position in Vancouver. They talk about their values being inclusiveness and fairness but tried to take advantage of me. This is one of the worst experiences I've had in my entire career. I went through 6 hours of their interview process, at the end of the interview they made me an offer $40k below the minimum on GlassDoor. I was also told that the company "didn't believe in bonus'". When I made reference to salaries on GlassDoor the manager got all uncomfortable and said that he would "see what he could do". The entire process I was not told what seniority I was interviewing for. They tried to take advantage of me because I said that I didn't currently have a job. In the final wrap up interview the manager said "they offered competitive salary" then gave me a lowball offer. Trust me, do not waste your time with them.
