I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Nuvalence in Sept 2022
Interview
Meeting with initial recruiter was great and she explained the process and more about the company.
After that there was a 45 minute technical interview with a couple of their engineers. During the interview one of the interviewers looked very distracted, looked at his watch while I was answering, and you could tell was not very engaged.
The questions seemed simple and I felt I answered them pretty well but was ultimately rejected.
The interviewers were young and had only been with the company 1 year so not sure what exactly they were looking for.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nuvalence (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2022
Interview
There were multiple rounds of interviews and the process took a long time. Seems like just another shady consulting company that provides staff augmentation to clients. Some of the interviewers were unprofessional, and kept interrupting me when I was trying to speak. After investing more than 15 hours in the interview process, they did not bother to get back to me for weeks. Overall it was quite a negative experience. I would think twice before dealing with this company.
