It was pretty straightforward, mainly focusing on teamwork and how I handle different situations. The interviewer seemed a bit pressed for time and started a bit late. They also asked about my past work and references. Two interviewers were there, but it was just one round. There were a few technical questions, but they also inquired about my personal interests. The whole thing was around 30 minutes, felt quite short compared to other interviews I've had.

A recruiter recommended me to UBC. The first interview was average, with a panel asking relevant questions. The second interview was terrible. The director bragged about his achievements instead of discussing the organization, project, or asking relevant questions. He also criticized my skills and experience, stating I wasn't good enough for his team. He even asked me to stay an extra 15 minutes. Although I politely agreed, he continued to boast about his importance to the organization and framed hiring me as a significant risk. Despite this, I was invited for a third interview, but I decided to withdraw, informing the recruiter that UBC wasn't what I was looking for.
