PointClickCare Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was way too long and complicated for a senior role. It had a hiring manager screen with a coding question, then another coding round, two separate system design interviews, and a behavioral/cultural chat. It felt repetitive and didn't seem to add much value. I wonder if they could assess candidates better and faster earlier on. It takes a lot of time from the candidate's side. A simpler process or clearer differences between the rounds would be better. Also, saying people might need to reapply if they don't get in could suggest the hiring process isn't well-calibrated, rather than just having high standards. Even though they're probably trying to be thorough, the process could be more focused, quicker, and easier for candidates.

Two recruiters from the software team introduced themselves. Then, they asked me to self-assess my database and Java skills. They asked a behavioral question about the most difficult thing I've faced in my experience. After that, we had time for my questions. Finally, there was a LeetCode round using Java (even though I asked for Python). The recruiter was really friendly and helpful.

I had one 1-hour interview with two developers. It was a mix of behavioural and technical stuff. They started by asking me to introduce myself, then talk about a project I worked on (which they asked me to go into detail on), how I learn things, and describe a problem I overcame in a previous co-op. Then they asked me the egg drop problem and to explain my answer verbally. We then went into a leetcode question for the last 15 minutes which was basically valid parentheses but you only have to worry about round brackets.
