Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation
It was a good mix of checking my soft skills and tech knowledge. They started by asking about my background and how I like to communicate, like if I'm good with English or French. Then, some practical questions about my experience with full-stack stuff like React, Node, SQL, and TypeScript, and what I'd do on projects that don't have a clear plan. They asked me to explain OOP concepts like class vs object, inheritance, and polymorphism. Also some React basics like props vs state. On the behavioral side, they wanted to know how I handle crazy deadlines, team stuff, and fights. There was this scenario about a project needing 400 hours of work but only having 3 weeks, and how I'd tell my lead and the team. Leadership style and working with old code also came up, with examples from my past. Finally, they asked what I like in a workplace culture, what I don't like, and how I juggle quality, cost, and time. I got to ask my questions at the end.

Behavioral Technical Other
Had a phone call with HR, discussing my current job, my motivation for joining CAE, and other related topics. This was followed by an online interview. The online interview was pretty fair; it involved some questions about my background and work-related experience, along with security verifications, but no coding questions. The process concluded with an offer.

It took about 2 weeks to get a phone call from HR. Then there was an interview scheduled with 2 senior developers and the manager. The interview was all about soft questions, like what would you do if you had problems with your colleagues?
