The first interview was about general stuff concerning Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and the internship. Then, I had a chat with HR about my profile, background, and some standard legal/admin things. Lastly, I met with the team for technical questions and to see if I'd fit in.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was a bit long. I got an invite for an online interview about 2-3 weeks after applying, which is pretty standard. But then they waited a whole month to invite me for a 1-on-1 interview. It's not a complaint, just an observation that it felt slower than other places. They did a good job of making me feel relaxed during the interviews, which I appreciated! I really liked the 1-on-1 because it gave me a chance to talk about my background and what drives me. I also got to ask questions about the industry. After this stage, they tend to take their time with a decision, which can be a bit nerve-wracking.

Behavioral Technical
This was for a back office role. There were 3 interview rounds. About half the questions were behavioral and half were technical. They weren't too difficult. The interviews were conducted in English and French. I interviewed with my future colleagues for the second round, and the last interview was with the director.
