It was a pretty straightforward process. I had a team interview with a manager. The setup and communication were clear. A recruiter arranged the interview. The interview was with the building and infrastructure team. They took two weeks to get back to me about the results.

Behavioral Technical
So after you apply, a recruiter gives your resume a once-over. Then, you'll likely have one or two chats that are mostly about your personality, what projects you've done before, and your reasons for wanting to come to WSP. A few teams might throw in a quick technical chat or a task to complete, but a lot of the interviews are pretty chill and focused on your resume. If your references check out and it feels like a good match for everyone, then you'll get to the offer part.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
So my experience with WSP's interview was pretty thorough and organized. Started with my application online, then they reviewed my resume and did an initial screening. After that, there were technical assessments and virtual interviews where I could show off what I know. Later on, I had in-person interviews and panel discussions, so they really looked at everything. It was clear they cared about both my technical skills and if I'd fit in. They did reference checks after they gave me the job offer. Overall, WSP was really open about their process, and I got a good sense of the job and their culture.
