First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Intact.
AI Software Engineer Intern
So I had an online assessment first with 3 questions, 2 were hard Leetcode problems, bit manipulation related, and one was a multiple choice on race conditions. After that, there were two phone interviews. The first was with the hiring manager, a behavioral one. The second was with a manager from a dev team, which was technical. Finally, there was one more technical interview after that.
- The first two questions on the OA were Leetcode hard problems focusing on bit manipulation.
- The third question on the OA was a multiple-choice question about race conditions.
Workforce Analyst
The whole interview process was really well put together and things were organized. The TA team was super helpful, even giving me tips on how to talk to the senior leaders. They answered all my questions fast and made sure I knew about the job and the company vibe. Plus, they kept me in the loop with updates, so I felt good about everything the whole time. They were really professional and paid attention to the little things, which was nice.
- Tell me about a time you had to adjust to a big change at work.
- Can you describe a situation where you faced ambiguity at work?
- Have you ever made a suggestion that had a good effect on the company?
Data Scientist Intern
I did a Hackerrank coding test first with 2 Python questions about data manipulation using Pandas, and another question on finding stop words like you'd do in NLP. There were also some multiple choice questions on machine learning topics such as overfitting, confusion matrix, and the difference between testing and validation error. After that, I had a live interview with 2 data scientists where we discussed some behavioral stuff and worked through a case study about Usage Based Insurance using driving data.
- Can you tell me about your previous experience and any challenges you encountered?
- How do you stay updated with the latest technologies?
- We have a case study for you on Usage Based Insurance, focusing on driving data.
Software Engineer
I got referred by a recruiter and then had a video call with the hiring manager and a peer. They didn't introduce themselves or let me introduce myself, which was weird. The interview had two parts: technical questions and a coding challenge. The technical questions were fine and related to the job. The coding challenge was a surprise, a data structures and algorithms problem. After I solved it, they asked really deep algorithmic theory questions, like O-notation. I thought it was too much for the pay and irrelevant to our tech stack. I told the recruiter, and they said the feedback got to the hiring team. They offered another interview focused on daily tasks, but by the time we scheduled it, the role was already filled by someone the hiring manager knew.
