Graphics Software Engineering Interview Experience - Canada
Process
I applied through my university's co-op system and secured two phone interviews with two different teams.
During the first interview, the interviewer arrived 45 minutes late and attempted to condense an entire hour-long interview into 20 minutes. He sounded completely disinterested from the start and repeatedly complained about the sound quality.
The second interview proceeded much better, though the interviewer posed many questions that were bad, vague, or generally unanswerable.
