Senior Software Developer Interview Experience - Montreal, Quebec
Process
I applied online. One week later, I had an HR interview, followed by two technical phone interviews. Finally, I had a meeting for a final technical interview with a group of developers.
The technical interview was very good, and they took their time asking all questions about Java, from the JVM to RESTful services. It was one of the best interviews I have ever gone through, as it covered many aspects of development.
