I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McGill University (Montreal, QC) in May 2015
Interview
My interview process was very lengthy. I had to go through 2-3 HR rounds and a 3 hr written technical round with 1 technical interview. Late I found out that the interview questions were in no way aligned with the business needs

Interview
My experience with their Senior Technical Talent manager was very good She was professional and nice, but the human resource who managed the initial interview was really pushy and unprofessional!
They approached me first, I already was working somewhere, they had permanent and term openings for IT functional analyst and the HR lady tried to push me to go with the Term one.. I said I’d rather not since I was already permanent.. she sounded not happy!
I saw another posting weeks later, talked to the senior talent manager again and she said she will schedule a call.. days later I received a call from the same HR lady without any notice! a day before Christmas!!
I was in the middle of packing my luggage to go away for Christmas , this is how unannounced the call was! the call took 30 seconds! she asked me if I ever worked with HR systems before I said not specifically.. she quickly said ok then I’ll call you if anything else matches!
as if she just wanted to cross my name off the list because she was told to contact me!!
who start the interview like that? what type of a dead-end question is that?
I found it very unprofessional and did not consider there anymore for working..
