Behavioral Technical
I had a 1-hour interview with the hiring manager and a senior tech. It was mostly standard behavioral questions and some tech questions about the take-home assignment. They ghosted me after the interview even though I followed up a couple of times. It was disappointing to see that from a government entity.

Behavioral Technical
There were two parts to the interview process: a one-on-one phone call with the hiring manager and then an in-person interview with the team. OPG is a well-known company, but they should also be mindful of the time candidates invest. The interview process was quite lengthy, lasting over an hour. Unfortunately, the hiring manager never followed up and just ghosted.

Behavioral Technical
Applied directly to an interview, which then led to an offer. The interview was conducted over Teams. Two senior team members were present. They decide which team you would be the best fit for and you interview with that team. It was about five behavioral and two technical questions. The interviewers made me feel comfortable and we could joke around. They introduced themselves very politely. This might differ with other interviewers.

The hiring process moved pretty quickly at first. I applied and got scheduled for an HR interview the very next day, which was just a short 15-minute call and felt pretty easy. The day after that, I had the second interview with the directors. This one was longer and a bit intense, but they made the atmosphere really comfortable, so it felt more like a casual chat. It took them a bit over two weeks to let me know I didn't get the job.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Could you share an example of a successful resolution you achieved?
- How did you manage a problem that arose during your work?
- Can you discuss your familiarity with the tools necessary for this role?
