Referred through a friend. Received a phone screening with HR followed by a technical assessment completed at home. A few weeks later I was invited for an in person interview with two leads of different teams.

Interview
I had been applying at Neo for quite some time as my values aligned with their mission. After finally getting an interview, I had great conversations with HR, the Team Lead, and a member of Senior Leadership. However, the technical interview with two developers was easy but lacked any real structure (the task was to code/design a bank transaction). I eventually received a rejection without much clarity. It appears they may be prioritizing high-volume recruitment via a Vancouver based agency (VanHack) that sources talent from South America, which makes me question their commitment to the local candidate pool I was so eager to join.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Neo Financial (Winnipeg, MB) in May 2022
Interview
4 step interview process.
First was an interview with human resources.
After that I was provided a technical test with 3 fairly basic code problems for an intermediate developer.
After passing that, it was a technical interview to get a better idea about my knowledge.
After getting past that was a culture and pay/benefits interview. Mostly to make sure it would be a good fit.
Afterwards an offer is sent.
