I was given a challenging but reasonable take home problem took me a a day to complete (I would have taken more time but I didn’t have because of other time constraints
The interview asked me about:
1. Experience (resume) / describe points from my resume (technology / projects)
2. any changes and/ or improvements I would make to my take home submission.
3. Architectural questions about data pipelines and processes

I applied through other source. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at ecobee (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2019
Interview
Interview was re-scheduled multiple times over a period of 3-4 months.
Everytime they would ask to schedule the interview and then just not respond.
Finally they called me up again and this time with a concrete date.
Questions are related to background really.
Did not seem exciting role and I decided not to pursue further.
