I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RS Energy Group in Nov 2019
Interview
Comfortable and relaxing interview environment. Chat-like conversations. Walked through the resume and answered related questions based on the skills written on resume. The interview lasted about 45 mins and received the result within one week.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RS Energy Group (Calgary, AB) in Oct 2019
Interview
Three step process:
1. Record answers to two questions online (Why do you want to work for RSEG; What is your preferred management style)
2. In person interview with several (3) RSEG geoscientists
3. Group interview. All the applicants for open positions come at the same time to RSEG HQ and basically stand around drinking beers and talking to RSEG employees as they filter in. Punctuated by a 15 min interview with two higher ranking employees. Quite an awkward experience from the applicant's perspective as significant chunks of time will be spent small talking with other people vying for the same job.
Interview process seems somewhat preferential to extroverted ladder-climbing types. If you currently have a job, be prepared to take off ~6 hours of work time and fork over $50 if you have to park nearby. Also be prepared to be ghosted if you didn't make the cut.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"We work 10-12 hours a day which can make things stressful from time-to-time... What do you do to blow off stress?"
They also gave us a contour map with some colours, and no other details, and asked us how we might go about interpreting it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at RS Energy Group (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
I was initially contacted by the recruiter on LinkedIn. I applied online, afterwards had an initial screen with the recruiter, followed by a phone screen with some general Python questions (especially about the GIL), followed by an in-person interview.

Given a Python dictionary mapping letters to morse code, i.e. morse = {'a': '.-', 'b': '-...', etc}, write a function that takes a given string input and returns whether the morse code representation of that string is a palindrome
