I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Suger.io (Vancouver, BC) in Jul 2025
Interview
Recruiter contacted me for a role. The initial conversation with the recruiter and the team were fairly standard.
There will be 2 take-home assignments. The assignments require the integration of new components and third-party API into a complex and undocumented codebase. It was far more than typical take-home and felt closer to unpaid project work which should spent 1~2 sprints for experienced engineers.
Also I got ghosted after submitting work and had to follow-up myself to get generic rejection. The overall process felt disrespectful for candidate's time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe most challenging project you have done in the past
Terrible. They made me do 2 technical challenges that took me way too long, and at the end, dumped me without an explanation (I had to ask them why it was taking them so long, and them they finally gave me a generic reason).
