So after they look at my resume, they give me a 1 hour virtual interview. If I pass that, then I get called for an onsite interview. Going onsite is pretty important because it lets me see the place and figure out the kind of work I'd be doing.

  • Can you share an example of an innovative contribution you made to a project?

It was a behavioural interview. They asked me about situations I’ve been in at work and how I handled them, how I handle stress, the hardest job I have done, if I am a team player, if I can work well alone, and if I am a good troubleshooter.

  • Are you a team player?

Went through three interviews with different people at the company. One was about answering negative things about myself, like when I messed up or didn't get along with coworkers. Another was about answering positive things about myself. The last one was just a vibe check, no questions about me specifically. Got an offer to move forward from the interview location.
