I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fortinet (Burnaby, BC) in Dec 2021
Interview
I applied via LinkedIn and was contacted by a recruiter after approximately one week. The recruiter sent me a 2 hour HackerRank test along with a couple hints about what I could expect on it. After completing the test I was scheduled for a 3 hour technical interview with a team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HackerRank: 10 multiple choice questions about software concepts, the C language and some brain teasers. You should be practiced in coding common C data structures as 4 coding questions follow.
The recruiter gave me a document to prepare for the 3 hour technical interview. Be able to explain every single bullet point in the document in detail.

Interview
Coding assessment, then live coding assessment where they just watch you code, camera and mic on, and sits there silently. Once you are done, if you don't get the whole thing, they just say "it's a no" then drops the call.

Question 1
A bunch (about 4) of leetcode style questions, Med-Hard difficulty
The HR representative initially contacted me by phone and explained the interview process. I was then given four coding questions, which were similar to a HackerRank-based test but slightly modified. Unfortunately, I didn’t pass that stage, so I don’t have any additional information to share.
