In preparation for your upcoming virtual interview, download the Teams App to your computer. If you are unable to install Teams, there is an option to open Teams in your web browser; however, we recommend using the App where possible as this ensures that you have access to all the features. Please note the preferred browsers are Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Safari.
Your recruiter will send you a Microsoft Teams meeting ID# prior to your interview.
Technical interviews are problem-solving–based and cover technical excellence and core competencies. You’ll be assessed on your knowledge of technical principles and methods, as well as on how you approach problem-solving, your technical agility, and your ability to think strategically to solve complex problems.
Through our interview process, we aim to discover your base knowledge in the area of focus, evaluate critical thinking skills, assess how you solve problems and your ability to learn. You’ll have an initial interview and, if selected, a second final interview. We aim to discover your strengths to pair you with the right team.
Our interview process varies depending on the role you’re applying for. For some of our openings you may be asked to write code, share a creative portfolio or project, or provide examples of your work in other ways. Interview preparation and details are communicated to candidates when they are invited to interviews to help set you up for success.
