Process seemed scattered, didn't seem like the interviewers knew where they wanted the interview to go. Interviewer was late and didn't have enough questions to last the full hour. HR cancelled and rescheduled the interview twice.

Question 1
Normal Engineering questions for engineer role. Was not very in-depth.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MDA
Interview
There was a pre-screen phone interview that lasted about 20 minutes to ask some basic personal questions, followed by a Zoom interview that lasted one hour, which covered a description of the company and conversation about the job itself, supplemented by a PowerPoint presentation. The final step is an on-site interview.

Question 1
What are the benefits of SAR data and have I used it before?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MDA (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2021
Interview
I had a two stage process.
An employee-acquaintance passed my resume to the Campus Recruiter, who followed up with an email requesting a confirmation of eligibility and asking if I would like to continue the process. I replied and said I was interested.
Within an hour the recruiter then scheduled a 15 minute Zoom screen (I was offered phone or zoom). After completing the phone screen, the recruiter let me know that if I would like to proceed we could schedule an interview with the hiring manager and the team lead by the end of the week.
I was confirmed to meet with the Hiring Manager and the Team Lead three days later. I just completed the interview.
It consisted of 15 minute meet and greet followed by a light technical discussion on language preferences and a check question on what I would do if I was required to have a containerized script ready to go in Docker by the morning and then finally a 15 minute cultural fit/behavioural session. The conversation flowed naturally and the interviewers were very easy to talk to.
