Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela TimePlay (Toronto, ON) em mar. de 2026
Entrevista
The interview process consisted of two rounds. The first was a standard HR phone screening covering background, experience, and fit. After that, I was invited to their downtown Toronto office (near M5V) for an in-person panel interview.
Getting there was a hassle—parking downtown is tough and expensive, and I paid about $15 out of pocket. The office is on the 3rd floor with no elevator, which added to the inconvenience. The open-concept layout offered zero privacy; I ended up doing my interview in the kitchen, which felt awkward. It has more of a casual startup feel than a corporate one.
The panel interview lasted about an hour and was intense. There was basically no warmup—they jumped straight into tough, scenario-based technical questions on DevOps, Linux administration, scripting, containers, and observability tools. Ultimately, I didn't receive an offer.
Since the role was advertised as hybrid, a virtual interview option would have been far more considerate. The commute, gas, and parking costs felt like a waste for a rejection that could have happened over video. To make matters worse, they never followed through on their promise to update me within a week—I had to chase HR by email just to find out the outcome. Even if I had received an offer, I'd think twice given the location and office setup.

Fiz uma entrevista na empresa TimePlay (Toronto, ON).
Entrevista
The interview process began with a brief phone screening, followed by two virtual interviews. The entire interview process took about one week to complete. However, I had to wait an additional two weeks before receiving any follow-up or update from Joyce in HR.
Feedback:
While the interviewers were professional during the conversations, the overall process felt drawn out. After the final interview, I was informed that I was not selected for the position, but no specific or constructive feedback was provided. It would have been helpful to receive more detailed insights on why I was not chosen to better understand areas for growth.
Overall Impression:
The process was fairly standard, but the extended wait time and lack of feedback left something to be desired in terms of candidate experience.
