      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      25 Mar 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KOHO (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      I was reached by a recruiter over email. The interview process consists of three 4 parts. 1 - Initial screaming from HR over the phone 2 - Take-home assignment with a real-world case from KOHO to be complete in 5 days 3 - System design and pair programming with two random engineers with Excalidraw and Visual Studio Code (you need to authenticate on VS) 4 - Behavioral interview Although at first glance the interview process seems pretty fair and straightforward, it is totally nonsense and unfair. They ask you to create a production-like application for parsing and validating a file with multiple transactions. I spent over 20hs creating a microservice using SOLID and DDD with 27 unit tests and APIs deployed on a public cloud provider so anyone could test it out. I also created extensive documentation using both readme.md and Swagger web pages. Usually, when companies ask candidates to do take-home assignments, they expect them to discuss their approach and solution over the interview, and KOHO chains that they follow this approach. However, this is not the case. My second interview was with two random engineers which did now know about my take-home assignment at all, the one I spent 20hs on. To add to that, most of the system design interview is spent testing your ability of programming in Go, which was not mentioned during the process since they claim they were tech agnostic and did not require experience with Go. To sum up, do not waste your time if they ask you do to any take-home challenge since no one, absolutely no one, will see your submission (apart from the HR). Also, make sure your know Go pretty well if applying for KAHO.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Create a random API with no domain on a fairly complex microservice in Go with very poor documentation under a couple of minutes. Bear in mind this so claimed "microservice" does not follow any modern design patterns.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      29 Nov 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KOHO (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      I was reached out by an recruiter from KOHO in Linkedin. The whole interview process consists 4 parts, which is considered to be just enough IMO, since I am not a advocate of over interviewing with 7+ hours. Anyways, the interview consists of: 1. Online coding, with 3 questions. From simple to practical. 2. 1 hour, technical interview discussion on system designs, design choices in your past projects. 3. 1 hour, culture fitting interview, on behavior, soft skills. It feels like a very agile and dynamic company. A lot of self initiates, and people got half day on Friday to do your own coding, or trying something new. 4. Final round, it's a 30 minutes leisure chat with someone, potentially your hiring manager, to know you better, and exchange some work details, or any questions you want to ask. Then offer negotiation. The package contains: a decent base, stock purchase options, one time WFH budget, life style fund around 1k/year, internet reimbursement 600$/yr, and whole family medical benefit package. (HSA + 100% dental) The offer package is pretty good from what I understand, but I cannot make a change due to personal reason which happened after I received the offer, and I regrettably declined the offer. The overall interview process is pretty smooth and HR contact never misses any emails, and replies questions from me in time. All the interviewers are pretty nice, and no mean faces during interviewing. It feels more like a discussion rather than a one-way questioning. Hope some day soon, I can join again.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Toronto, ON
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KOHO (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      I did several interviews in the past 60 days, and KOHO was the only one, in my option, that have a decent interview process. It's composed of an online 3 questions Codility like challenge, system design interview, culture, and finally the Engineering Manager talk. If I could change anything about the interview, I would get rid of one step, because, in the end you are like: seriously, there are more steps? Overall I would give a 9 to the interview process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      You have 3 hours to: 1 - Solve a simple algorithm 2 - Solve a fairly complex SQL Select, but if you have solid SQL knowledge you shouldn't have any problems with it. 3 - You have to finish coding an API that queries data from AWS
