I applied through other source. I interviewed at illumin
Interview
I met with the SVP and the first thing I was asked was how my name was pronounced. Second thing was what my nationality was. Third question asked me if I was Muslim. I was then told that they were Israeli and how there’s so much hate for them these days in the media. I was asked if I’d be open to the role at a number that was almost half of what the stated salary was or if I’d be open to full commission only.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at illumin (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2025
Interview
The interviewer in the video call was very nice and approachable. The video interview will be about 20 minutes long, giving us a basic understanding of you. The purpose is to further screen candidates based on the job description requirements.
Basics of support and programming, Java thread lifecycle, synchronization, concurrency handling, exception management, and debugging. Discussed previous project experience including backend development, API integration, performance optimization, bug fixing, and providing production support for stable and efficient application delivery.
