Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview process was really simple. I got an email from the hiring manager to schedule a Zoom video call. I talked with the manager and some of the dev team. The call was about an hour and had a mix of behavioral and technical questions. Towards the end, there was a technical assessment where I had to solve a coding problem using any language I wanted or even pseudocode. They offered me the job the day after.

Behavioral Technical
I put in my application and then a recruiter reached out via email about a virtual interview that lasted about 30 minutes. They asked about my background and how my skills would be a good fit. It was a pretty relaxed conversation. Then, within a week or so, I got an email with details on how to get ready for the in-person interview at their Moncton office. This second interview was with two people, likely my future manager and another recruiter. It was a bit intimidating with two people asking questions, but overall it was a good experience and they were really nice and respectful.

Behavioral Technical
The phone interview was okay overall, with a quick look over my resume and some behavioral questions, just like a normal interview. But, the interviewer's unprofessionalism really stood out. I know interviewers use question lists, but it felt too obvious. He kept saying things like 'let me check my list' or 'let's move on to the next question on the list,' which was confusing and broke up the conversation. Even with the list, he didn't seem to know the process well, often pausing to figure out what to ask next and apologizing. He also looked up my LinkedIn during the interview to ask about my background, which seemed like something he should have done beforehand. At the end, he even forgot my name and had to check, leaving an awkward silence. I haven't heard back, which isn't surprising considering how it went.

Behavioral
I got referred by someone who works there. After applying, HR called me for a phone interview a few days later. The day after that first interview, I was moved to a second interview with the hiring managers. Both of these interviews focused heavily on behavioral questions. A day after the second interview, they let me know they'd be doing a criminal and credit check. About three business days after that, I got an offer. The whole thing took about three weeks.
