Candidate-reported interview process

It was two rounds. The first was in person and involved a typing test. The second was over video and included a few questions and some general chat. It wasn't too bad, the team was really nice.

I was once a student there, and I remember that the school is relatively new, with modern facilities and a sleek, well-designed campus. The buildings have a contemporary and stylish look, creating a welcoming and professional learning environment. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure and resources, it’s probably a great choice for anyone considering an institute in Ottawa.

The interview started with a technical in-person micro-teaching presentation. I had to explain an unsupervised machine learning technique using Python and data. After passing that, the second and final round was a Behavioral Interview. This involved a panel of 6 people, and each person asked 2 questions.
