Technical Behavioral

Applied and waited about a month to hear back. First up was a self-recorded video interview where I had to answer 10 general questions. Took about a week after that for HR to get back to me. Then I had my second interview, which was with my direct supervisor, another supervisor, and someone from HR. They asked me behavioural questions and two technical ones. Got a verbal offer right after that, and the formal offer the very next day.

Behavioral Technical

They had this briefing session the day before the interview, which was awesome and a great way to network with current workers. The interview the next day was alright, didn't ask too many questions, instead went over the resume. The shift supervisor and chief engineer did not seem like they had the skills to conduct a proper interview.

Behavioral

I spoke with HR and the hiring supervisor. It was a behavioural interview, and they were pretty nice and asked if I had any questions. It was pretty much straight forward with them asking behavioural questions that required me to give an example for each answer. It took a few weeks after the interview for the job offer.
