I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ecobee in Feb 2019
Interview
Note: this is for junior/intermediate position. Not sure about senior.
Same as other web developer/software engineer interviews.
HR phone -> Technical Phone -> Onsite pair programming.
- HR: behavior questions
- Tech Phone: knows your basic stuff and you are great.
- Pair programming: Build a simple website using (with some APIs, so know your basic and pair programming should be good for you)
Ghosted after onsite. Honestly, ghosting sucks.
As a candidate, I'm perfectly fine if you ghost me in the beginning of the interview process.
Why? Because I HAVE NOT wasted my time with you yet.
However, once we started the interview process and all the way to onsite. You can't just ghosted me.
I've committed my times to this and I think I at least deserve a feedback.
Even if the feedback is automated., that's still better than nothing.
If I committed my times to go through your interview process. I think I should at least get some respect from you...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why ecobee? Why do you want to work at Ecobee? (all sort of bevaiour questions)
Salary expectation?
Why do you want to leave?
Hi! Thank you for letting us know that you had this experience, feel free to send me an email at emmas@ecobee.com, we'd be happy to look into this for you.
The team was thoughtful & had reasonable expectations for how much time I was putting into the interview process/take-home assessment. There are 4 rounds. Many questions are either technical or can be answered using the STAR formula.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ecobee (Toronto, ON)
Interview
First was a call with HR, followed by a technical interview with pair programming using two computers where I brought in an app/project I had made myself. We added testing to the app as that was similar to what the role would be like.
