Behavioral Technical
The interview process had two steps: first a phone screening with the recruiter, then an interview with the Hiring Manager, an analyst, and a recruiter. The whole thing took 3 weeks from applying to getting an offer. They were super nice, and it went really smoothly. You do need to be ready though — they sent me some questions beforehand to help me prepare. It wasn't super hard, but you gotta give answers that are clear, detailed, and short at the same time, because the questions can get technical and need a lot of detail.

- What's your strategy for completing your work while keeping a good work-life balance?

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process felt really unclear. I had a long final interview, about 1.5 hours, with more than 15 questions. Some of them were either super vague or way too long and specific, making it seem like the interviewers weren't even sure what they were asking. I didn't hear back about the outcome until the job was posted again. I asked for feedback since I put in so much time, but got nothing. I also got to ask my own questions at the end, but someone important on the panel gave vague answers and acted dismissive, which was a bad look for a company that talks about respect and equity.

Behavioral
I was really disappointed with my interview process. The interviewer felt disinterested, and I felt rushed. There was no cordial how are yous at the beginning. It felt like they were just interviewing to hit a quota and not interested in me as a candidate at all. I felt incredibly discouraged after the interview as I thought the City of Vancouver would be a more welcoming workplace.
