I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Coalition (Toronto, ON) in May 2025
Interview
The interview process spanned about 4 weeks from initial call to final offer. All interviews included some behavioural component (~1/3 of the time was spent on behavioural questions and ~2/3 on technical questions). I started off meeting with a recruiter who explained the interview process and the expectations for the interview. This was followed by a 1-hour initial interview, then another meeting with the recruiter to go over next steps and schedule three more interviews (technical / pair programming, system design, and culture fit). After this, I had another brief call for team matching, and then a call to discuss the offer.

All the interviews rounds are interactive. All interviewers are easy to talk to and happy to answer any questions. I even had a great chat with a principle engineer, which I was not expecting. Overall very good experiences.
