I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pixlee
Interview
Overall a pretty bad experience. They reached out to me and followed up several times asking me to interview/apply (I realize this was likely automated but still!!). Finally I did respond and then on initial call they were asking me questions like tell me what you know about Pixlee or why do you want to work here instead of trying to sell and hype me on the role.
They were unable to answer basic questions like salary range and benefits/perks. Seems like they were not at all aware of the actual role or how the company operates and told me shes in HR and later in the process I'll be given that info. Why would anyone go through a process before step 1 with this little information? You aren't Google or FB where people are lining up to work there so you have to be more transparent in your hiring practices if you want to get good talent.

Question 1
Please tell me what you know about Pixlee and what excites you?
This was the worst interview process I have ever encountered. The HR screener was clearly reading off a script and it was clear they had no real knowledge about the company despite seeming to work there. I spoke about something related to the CEO as part of my answer to a question and it was clear that they had no idea who the CEO even was. The screener was unable to answer simple questions like the team structure or what the role would encounter. All in all, it was a complete waste of my time and left me with a bad impression of the company if they will allow someone will no knowledge of what the role is, to be in charge of screening.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pixlee (Waterloo, QC) in Oct 2019
Interview
We just talked about my past work experience, projects, technology I'd used, and then had a conversation about school/life in general. Overall a pretty relaxing, low-pressure interview (though seems more intense for full-time positions).
