Behavioral
Unprofessional interview with a Director for the Partner Account Specialist role. It felt like a waste of time for someone overqualified. The interviewer was rude and condescending, and I don't think they should be at the company. They wasted my time asking irrelevant questions with an attitude.

Behavioral Group
I was nervous coming into the interview but the interviewers made the mood really friendly and welcoming. They asked questions to get to know me as a professional and they were able to get me to open up and share who I am as a person. They helped me feel comfortable. I interviewed with a total of 6 members of the HR team. At first, it seemed intimidating but it was a way to test out our work chemistry and I am happy that it worked out well. I look forward to start working with the team.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
I interviewed with the team lead for video surveillance and the team lead for access control. It began with me introducing myself, then they gave a quick rundown of the company and the job. There were some standard interview questions, plus two troubleshooting problems, one about video surveillance and another about access control. We also did a role-play of a client call to see how I'd handle pressure.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
The interview process started with a quick recruiter call to explore fit. Then, there was a one-hour in-person interview at the office. The recruiter call wasn't too technical, mostly about my past roles and why I was interested in Genetec. The in-person interview, however, was quite technical and detailed. It began with discussing my experience, including specific questions about how I handled code testing. After that, we moved to coding questions where I had to analyze provided code snippets, explaining the function of each line, paying attention to value/reference passing and design patterns. The last part involved a quick, high-level system design for a mobile-to-server communication system. The technical interview was challenging. Despite the technical nature, the interviewers were friendly and patient, making for a good experience.
