I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ecobee (Toronto, ON) in July 2020
Interview
There was a short 15 minute interview, followed by a small, simple take home assignment. Interview was around that and other relevant topics, but still thorough. Interviewers were knowledgeable and friendly. Was an overall pleasant experience!

The team was thoughtful & had reasonable expectations for how much time I was putting into the interview process/take-home assessment. There are 4 rounds. Many questions are either technical or can be answered using the STAR formula.
