Question 1
Describe the time you were challenged with a difficult problem
One Zoom interview with supervisor. It was not too long and it was generally easy and expected questions that are not too difficult to prepare for. Then you hear back from them via email about the job.
It was a written test that took place as part of a 45-minute interview process, during which I had to answer a series of basic questions in both French and English, all scheduled and completed on the same day.
