I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Altera (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2017
Interview
Two interviews with two different software engineers- each 30 minutes long, one question per interview. Questions pretty simple algorithm wise and you have to write the solution on white board or paper. Be careful not to waste time at this stage with question about the company or anything else (including any interaction with the interviewer) otherwise you won't have the time to actually solve the question because you have exactly 30 minutes and not a minute more.
