I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at General Motors (GM) (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2021
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. I had a phone screen with a recruiter to go over my resume. Then a 2 hour technical interview with questions from what became my day-to-day tasks. These questions were algorithm questions e.g. "how will you solve this problem?", etc. The next round was behavioural with a lot of "describe a time when..." questions. The final round was offer negotiation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How will you design a software component to send signals to different controllers using different communication protocols?
Took the OA, then had three interviews (coding, debugging, behavior), then technical/behavior
Each interview was around 45 minutes. The coding interview had two medium difficulty questions. Then, I read through a file for debugging. The final interview was with the hiring manager.
