      Senior Software Engineer Windows Desktop App Interview

      21 May 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DuckDuckGo (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      After a screener interview there were a series of three 'projects' requiring you to work for about 3 hrs, then 5 hrs and then finally 10 hours. There will also be a 2 hour video call with the team as well.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Due to the way the first project is specified you must have ONE project that you worked on that displays your skills in project planning and project delivery. This can be difficult to meet if your experience is distributed across multiple companies and projects, especially since this question was asked for a technical software engineering position.
