I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at CAE (Montreal, QC) in Feb 2022
Interview
a question/ answer interview! it was to the point, asked if I had knowledge in c++, and I did not. Also, asked me what was my favorite course. I answered something not related to soen
Very quick. It was only one round and they did not dog too deep into technical background or expertise. They asked basic knowledge questions and asked to solve one small problem. This was for an entry level position, so its possible for higher levels the process is more intense.

Question 1
Standard behavior questions, name a time you had to deal with a conflict, what did you do.
The interview process was smooth and well-organized. It started with an online coding assessment focusing on basic algorithms and problem-solving. Afterwards, I had two technical interviews covering JavaScript, APIs, and database queries, followed by a short HR discussion about culture fit and career goals. The team was friendly, and communication was clear throughout. Overall, it was a positive experience.

Question 1
Can you describe a project where you improved the performance or maintainability of the codebase?
The interview usually includes two to three people—often one or two managers and an HR representative—who evaluate your technical skills, experience, and interpersonal abilities to ensure a good fit for the culture.
