I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at FDM Group (Toronto, ON)
Interview
There was initially a brief phone conversation after I submitted an application. This was followed up with an invitation to do a one-sided video interview (6 questions- prompt and then auto-record) and a short aptitude test. I don't have much to say about the video interview, but I felt the aptitude test to be wholly too easy.
I was then invited to a group interview day. Some of the other candidates seemed greatly overqualified, and others a little disorganized and skittish. To keep it brief, over 3 hours we were given a brief presentation, then two games to play on tablets (reading comprehension quiz and pattern / series completion), and finally underwent two one-on-one interviews for interpersonal and technical skills.
Overall it was relatively painless and I don't feel that they probed very deeply.

Question 1
If you knew a colleague who was especially skilled with respect to a task you've been assigned, would you approach him for help and if so how?

Interview
The interview felt a bit sketchy. I applied through my campus and received an invitation for phone interview a while ago. A few red flags with the interview. First, the interviewer requested a last minute schedule change, which is totally unexpected. I agreed to the schedule change, but had to actually call in to remind the interview. Second, the recruiter seemed she knew nothing about the position. I noticed that because there were a lot of awkward silences / waiting for her to respond. A strong feel that she was reading questions off a piece of paper. Also had to end up explaining to her the summary of the job and requirements. Third, when the interview was over, the recruiter reached out days later requesting the exact same interview. Had to explain to her the interview was already finished, which she realized it upon double checking. Still can't believe a recruiter from some consultant company lacks basic skills as an interviewer. Overall, the interview felt very bland and unprosessional.

Interview
It was smooth and comforting. They scheduled a phone interview that was about 30 minutes and then there is an online test that I need to take. After that there is a meeting with the client.
