Behavioral Technical Other

I had a call with HR, then an English test, a personality test, an interview with the manager, and finally an interview with the N+2. During the interview, the exchange was generally destabilizing. The project director seemed to lose all interest in my profile quite quickly, which translated into a distant and unengaging attitude. This experience gives an impression of a lack of consideration for candidates and a recruitment process that can be improved in terms of professionalism and respect. The announced human values are just a facade, run away!

Behavioral Technical

I applied online. Had my first interview with HR, which was online and friendly. They asked common interview questions. Got a call for a second interview within 1-2 weeks, which was technical. I felt I did well. Waited 3-4 weeks for feedback but heard nothing. I reached out via email and LinkedIn. Finally, HR emailed to say I wasn't selected. I really wanted the job, so it was a mixed experience.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was in-person. There were 4 interviewers in total: one from HR, one professional engineer, and two co-op students who are interning for the position they are hiring for next year. They started with basic behavioral questions, then went into an in-depth description and Q&A about my resume, and finished with a 10-minute presentation on a topic I was told to research.

So, the interview process started with an MCQ test, it had 40 questions total. It was split into two parts: one was aptitude - like numerical, reasoning, and english stuff - and the other part was technical MCQs on .NET, Java, and SQL. After that, if you cleared the first round, there was a pre-placement talk, and then the second round kicked off. This second round was a technical interview, basically asking about whatever was on my resume, plus an HR round. The folks who did well in the second round were then invited for a managerial interview round.
