I applied online. I interviewed at UKG (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2017
Interview
I applied online and it took a month to start the interview process
The interview process consisted of 3 stages.
1. Phone interview
2. Hacker rank questions
3. 2 onsite interviews
The first interview was technical and the interviewers seemed unhappy to be conducting the interviews and felt like they were disinterested from the get go.
Simple questions and white boarding session included database normalization, OOP,
Algorithm.
Interview with management was even worse, they also seemed to be disinterested and annoyed to be there, it almost felt like they were just going though the motions.
After the interviews I was told I would be hearing from them in a week, however, that week turned into a two months just to be told they have a hiring freeze and I never got a formal yes or no, needless to say we weren’t a good fit.
-Probably worst communication I’ve ever seen from HR.
-I’d be very sceptical of the company reviews, my personal experience does not reflect many of the reviews posted.
First a chat with the recruiter, followed by an hour technical screen, followed by an onsite where I talked to the hiring manager and two members of the team. Everyone in the process was very nice but I ultimately did not get the job.
Part of the first round was a technical test through HackerRank. The questions consisted of four multiple-choice questions and two coding questions. Typically based on Algorithms and Data Structures. You get a few days to prepare, and if you need an extension, you can ask. But be aware that the sooner you turn it in, the sooner you can get reviewed, and they don't have infinite time to provide.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I didn't get any behavioral questions, but for HackerRank, one of the questions consisted of multiple choice in deciding which sort method was best, given a situation.
Phone
Panel interview with 3 developers of varying levels. Was informed I wasn’t gonna pass the interview about 2 weeks after the interview. Overall very friendly and passionate developers who knew their stuff and asked challenging questions.
