The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Genetec (Saint-Laurent, QC) in Dec 2023
Interview
The process involved a short exploratory phone interview with a recruiter followed by an hour long in person interview conducted at the office.
The phone interview wasn't overly technical; I was asked some questions related to my experience (e.g. which stack I used in other positions) and some opinion questions (e.g. why I wanted to work at Genetec)
The in person interview was very technical, and fairly in depth. The first part was about my experience, they asked certain specific questions related to my work experience (e.g. how I tested my code). After that came some code questions, where they would show me blocks of code and ask me to follow through the logic of the code and respond with what each line does (some thing to look out for are passing by value/reference and design patterns). Finally, I was asked to quickly draw up a basic high level design for a software system for communication between a mobile device and central server.
Overall the questions ranged from average to hard for the technical interview.
In both the phone and technical interviews, the interviewers were polite, kind, and patient, allowing for a very positive interview experience

Applied for a general Software Developer position. Received a call from Recruiter where I was asked about my interests to see which team I would be best suited for. I then had an in-person interview where I was asked about my experiences and some general knowledge questions about programming and web developement. There was also a quick whiteboard where I was asked to show OOP principals.
