The recruitment process was lengthy. I first talked to a recruiter at a university job fair. After a week, I received an invitation for a phone interview. An HR rep asked pretty standard HR questions (why do you want to work for us, etc.), no technical questions. About a week after the phone interview, I was asked to come into the offices. I interviewed with the group manager and another senior engineer. I was not asked any technical questions; only questions about my Co-op experiences and "soft-skill" questions. A while later, I was asked to come into the offices again. This time, I interviewed with a different senior designer who asked almost no questions. He talked for about 90% of the ~2 hour interview. I think this was mostly for the manager to gauge if the designed liked me. I received an offer about three months after the initial job fair point of contact.

The interview was quite easy. There was a nice atmosphere and I didn’t feel any pressure or didn’t feel like they were trying to trick me. The HR staff was very nice and even made a few jokes to help with the nerves.
