I applied through other source. I interviewed at Pebl (Toronto, ON) in May 2026
Interview
The interview process was straightforward and everyone I met was professional, friendly, and respectful. The process included a recruiter screening, a hiring manager interview, a system design interview, and a live coding session. Communication was good throughout most of the process, but I never received a final update after completing the interview loop. I later noticed the position had been reposted, so I assumed they decided to move forward with other candidates. Overall, I enjoyed meeting the team and learning more about the company. My only criticism is the lack of clarity and closure at the end of the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Expect questions about your past projects, along with assessments of your knowledge of data structures, object-oriented programming, and system design, particularly event-driven systems.
Bad experience with this interview process. The interviewer joined over 7 minutes late, and the originally scheduled guy wasn't able to make it. The interviewer was unresponsive and lacked enthusiasm, and the entire interaction felt disengaged.
I was only aware it would be a coding interview, with no details about the environment or specific requirements. I was asked to implement a simple CRUD todo app using Node/Express. There was little to no communication during this process.
The interview was unstructured and unprofessional, and gave a bad impression.
Recruiter screen where recruiter did not seem to know much.
Then hiring manager, where only 30 min of the 45 min scheduled time was used.
Woven assessment which was poorly worded.
Very short onsite: 1 system design, 1 coding, 1 "behavioral" that was more project details for around 30 minutes.
Good practice for other onsites I guess. Would not have joined since nobody bothered to sell the company.
