I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CAE (Veszprém)
Interview
The interview process started out by solving a challenge posted city-wide on a billboard. Then I got called in for an interview. It was a basic discussion going through my history in software development, education, qualifications. Expectations and salary was discussed, then we moved on to the technical part. Interviewers were open to discussion, the CEO and architect among them.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CAE (Montreal, QC) in Apr 2008
Interview
I received a phone call from HR to ask my expected salary and to schedule an in-person interview.
The in-person interview was conducted with the HR rep and engineering group leader.
The questions were related to personality and response to hypothetical scenarios, rather than technical. For example:
- If you had a choice between a small project where you would be involved from beginning to end, or a big project where you would work on a small part but where the project would havea big impact on the company, which would you choose?
- While working on a task you realize you will not be able to complete it on time. What do you do?
- How would your colleagues describe you?
- What are your short-term career goals?
- Are you willing to travel for work?
- Are you willing to work overtime?
