It was a structured interview. They asked textbook questions. Really professional. They asked me to tell them about myself, describe 2 projects I managed and tell them about a time I had to get buyin from upper management for a task.

Behavioral Technical Case

It was a pretty chill interview, very friendly vibes. We chatted in both French and English. They asked me some questions about how I work with others and how I'd tackle problems. We also talked about how my previous jobs might fit this new role. And they asked me about where I see myself growing in the future.

Behavioral

The whole process felt like a pointless check-the-box activity, offering no real value to anyone involved. Honestly, this could have easily been handled over a phone call, or even better, they could have just been upfront if they already had a candidate in mind.
