I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CPCS

Interview

Mon interview a pris environ 6 semaines. En six semaine j'avais deja fait le tour entre la hiring HR, le prochain management, de probables collègues et même le managing Partner. A aucun moment je ne me suis senti discriminé. Mais chaque fois les entretiens etaient conduits avec respect et convivialité. Par contre la study case était quand même corsé.

Average Interview
Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at CPCS (Ottawa, ON) in Apr 2021

Interview

The process began with a brief phone call with a company recruiter to introduce the company, their strategy, their operating groups/divisions, and their compensation. This was followed by a written case study on several real world scenarios that a firm like CPCS would encounter. Following the case study, I was asked to prepare and deliver a short 15 minutes presentation for their VPs/Partners. I was then invited for a final call with one of their Managing Directors, which was more of a 'get to know you' call without any tough questions. The offer was presented verbally at the end of the final call.
