Elastic Path Interview Questions
& Process

Got an email from my Co-op advisor about an in-person interview arranged for a few days later. The whole thing was pretty straightforward. Just one round of interviews. Once I got to the company office in downtown Vancouver, I waited at reception for a bit. Then, two interviewers met me. The interview lasted about an hour. Afterwards, they gave me a tour of the office.

It started with an HR phone interview and then they quickly invited me for the in-person interview. This interview had two rounds, the first with the team Directors and the next with Sr Architecture and Sr developers. They asked about my technical experience during my current and past careers and also technical questions in depth about Java and software architecture of project I work on. Then, in a fast pace they invited me for the next technical interview which I would attend in the next week. I just can say they have an excellent work culture and you will realise it from the first impression! during the interview I felt like I was a part of their team and the way they asked me questions it wasn't like many other companies they just want to hire and that's all. They really want to know how much your personality is a good fit with their work culture and how much you are reliable and knowledgeable in the technical matters! They are looking for hiring talented technical buddies not just hiring someone to fill a position! Honestly, I have no doubts such a company with such a believe system like “value the team as well as value the customers” will gain many more success in the future than they reach now and I really want to be a part of!

First, a 30-minute call with someone from talent to discuss why you're applying, your background, and what you're looking for salary-wise. Then, a 60-minute chat with an engineering manager that's mostly behavioral questions, like 'tell me about a time when...', and some questions about your values. After that, there's supposed to be a take-home challenge. It seemed like a good place with down-to-earth people, but then they just ghosted me, not even an automated message to say what's up. Turns out they're just like everyone else.

It was an easy-going interview process. Started with a phone interview, then 3 one-on-one interviews. My overall experience was negative because they didn't follow up. I got positive feedback, but then they just went silent and I never heard from them again.
