Candidate-reported interview process

The process was quite involved and lengthy, but well-orchestrated and smooth. Focus was on cultural fit, and on ensuring that you'd be a good addition to the org. Some technical elements, and experience/behavioural-based questions as well, but underpinning is the cultural fit. I appreciate their rigour in hiring the right people, and the recruiter was top notch.

I had a nice interview where they seemed genuinely interested in my long and short term goals. They were impressed with my background and experience, and it felt like a friendly, win/win environment with other professionals. I had to pass two difficult tests for French and English, which I succeeded in.

This was a great conversation. They really took the time to understand me and tell me about the company culture. I liked talking with them and I'm optimistic about moving forward.
