The interview process for the Graduate Program in Software Development at Bell involved a pre-recorded video submission. This part focused on behavioral and situational questions, touching on my past experiences, how I approach problems, and my fit with the company. It specifically asked about my skills in teamwork, leadership, tackling technical issues, and aligning with Bell's culture. I had to answer within a specific time frame, making sure my responses were brief and well-organized to highlight my abilities and flexibility.
