I applied online. I interviewed at Remitly (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2025
Interview
I had a recruiter call that was scheduled for 15 minutes but ended abruptly in just 7. The recruiter came across as rushed and unprofessional, she didn’t let me complete my introduction and seemed disinterested from the start. It felt like she didn’t want to be on the call at all. There was no opportunity to ask questions, and the entire interaction felt transactional and dismissive. Disappointing experience!
First round was Recruiter phone screen
Second round was 1 hour technical interview (leet code)
Third round was 4 - 1 hour technical interview panel (2 coding questions one systems design one call with product manager)

Question 1
Given a set of bank accounts with dollar amounts and a threshold, find the number of transfers needed to get all accounts to meet the threshold amount. Be careful of edge cases, like if there isn't enough money. Some interviewers will want you to throw an error, but others may not.
For the behavioral questions, make sure that you show that you're a team player. They care about this just as much as you're individual coding skills.
The interview process for the SDE role was well-structured, starting with an online assessment, followed by technical interviews questions, system design, and behavioral questions. The experience was fair and insightful."
