Behavioral Technical Coding
It was an in-person interview: the first hour was a verbal interview, and the second hour I got a physical package with questions about Java, JavaScript, SQL, Git commands, and so on. You don't need in-depth coding knowledge, just the ability to write basic code and spot errors. The verbal interview covered problem-solving, some questions, OOP, design patterns, and general interview stuff.

Technical Behavioral
I had one interview with two team members. They asked a mix of technical and typical interview questions. I worked for the Offset and Emissions Trading team, so I was asked about the structure of Canada's carbon pricing system. It's important to understand the legislation that governs the department you are applying for.

Behavioral Technical
It was a 20-minute interview. We started with a quick intro. Then they asked me some high-level technical questions, although they were pretty limited since I was a first-year undergrad. A lot of behavioural questions followed. At the end, I had a short period to ask them questions.
