We started with an online assessment, then had an online interview with a team member. She mentioned that the timing of the co-op might be tricky and suggested that starting part-time could be an option if I got the role.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was well-organized and informative, with prompt feedback and good communication. It consisted of three stages: first an HR call, followed by an interview with a colleague, and finally with the Hiring Manager. The interviews focused heavily on competencies and culture, with guidance on what to expect provided in the interview invitation.

Behavioral

The interview process is based on behavioral questions. They ask about situations like a time when a team member wasn't pulling their weight and how you handled it, including the result. They also might ask about times when things didn't go well, so make sure to mention what you learned from those negative outcomes. The STAR method is the way to go for these questions: explain the Situation/Task, your Action, and the Result.
