J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Instacart (Toronto, ON) en sept. 2022
Entretien
One of the interviewers was late with what seemed like a made-up excuse. My interview seemed like a formality since they weren’t totally interested in what I had to say. Guess they had selected another candidate already.
Overall bad experience since the recruiter did not want to share the feedback saying it is against company policy.
Perhaps you don't waste the candidate's time if you've selected some one already!

Straightforward even though the process is pretty lengthy. It requires a lot time including a take home that is expected to take 5 hours but you know it usually requires 2 times as much.
