I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Synaptop (Waterloo, ON) in Oct 2016
Interview
Overall, this interview process was a negative experience. The interviewer went through the list of questions fairly quickly (comprised mostly of asking about programming skills), leaving me to scramble for conversation to fill the 30 minute interview block. I got the feeling that the company is unwilling to delegate difficult challenges to interns.
