Interviewed Apr 2008 in Montreal, QC (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
I received a phone call from HR to ask my expected salary and to schedule an in-person interview.
The in-person interview was conducted with the HR rep and engineering group leader.
The questions were related to personality and response to hypothetical scenarios, rather than technical. For example:
- If you had a choice between a small project where you would be involved from beginning to end, or a big project where you would work on a small part but where the project would havea big impact on the company, which would you choose?
- While working on a task you realize you will not be able to complete it on time. What do you do?
- How would your colleagues describe you?
- What are your short-term career goals?
- Are you willing to travel for work?
- Are you willing to work overtime?
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
- non-negotiable, standard base salary.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
I applied online but never got a reply and heard that one of my colleagues got a job. A few months went by when I learnt that that colleage did not continue with the job (he accepted the offer but only worked for one week then left) I rang the company and got the interview arranged in the next week.
The interview was with a panle of three people and the HR girl: the Simulation Software Manager, a Software Manager and a system architect. The interview was not hard as they were desperate to find people with an Austelain Defense Secret clearance - which I have - after my colleage left the company after only there for one week.
Basic questions were why I want to work there, what do I know about CAE, what I have been doing, why do I leave my current employer.

Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation. The HR girl rang me up and said with this position we can only offer that much of money and if you agree then we'll proceed with the interview. It was difficult to find work at the time so I agreed with what on offer.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview.

He gave me the next steps for the following weeks, 2 weeks after I called back and he told me that they were deciding within the following week. They told me that they were going to call back regardless of the outcome... they never did.
