Behavioral Technical Coding
About half of the interview was about past experiences, and the other half was conceptual questions on how to tackle technical problems. They really wanted to know about my past coding experience, like what languages and packages I've used, and if I had any experience with different data analysis methods.

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.
