I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SOTI (Mississauga, ON) in Jul 2023
Interview
- The recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn.
- Screening call with a recruiter with a few brain teasers and mathematical problems.
- Interview with a Software Engineer. Brainteaser and technical solution design.
- Interview with a couple of Directors (Hiring Managers)
In summary, my interview experience with SOTI started positively with effective communication from the recruiter, and the interviews up to the second-to-last round were respectful and well-conducted. However, the final round was a major disappointment. Interviewers appeared completely disconnected from modern technologies and architecture, showed disrespect, and failed to listen. Shockingly, they spent less than half of the allotted interview time and later claimed they couldn't assess my skills due to a lack of time. This experience left me disheartened, despite my interest in SOTI's innovative products.
It's fortunate that I didn't receive an offer and I didn't need to decline it, as working with such a boss would likely have been a very challenging and humiliating experience.

Interview
First the HR will call and gives you a brief outline of how the company works, what are their products and all. Then again another HR interview where the interviewer asked some situational questions and some puzzles. Then another round with two of the senior members. There also puzzles where asked and one programming question, a leetcode easy level. It actually went well for me. Then when I asked for feedback the HR ghosted me.
