I applied through university. I interviewed at Alphawave Semi (Toronto, ON)
Interview
HR call first and then a 30 minutes interview with manager. Go through ur resume and then ask some coding questions. You dont need to code by urself, just answer the questions manager asks.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alphawave Semi (Kanata, ON)
Interview
Overall interview process was not so much professional. Had three rounds of call but not a single response after third call and always set up in very quick time in a day or two.
Worst part was not even any single reply after technical rounds even after I sent them feedback email. Would be better if a simple rejection email or simple note to move on. Very unprofessional and seems like start up behaviour.
