I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Alcumus (Montreal, QC) in May 2024
Interview
A bit lengthy with little focus. Seemed like it was mostly a loyalty test. Some interviewers were more prepared than others. Not very hard, just a bit of back and forth.

Screening call, and then another 3 stages, one being a task. Abysmal communication, with weeks going by in between stages or any updates. "presentation" interview felt like I was in jail asking for probation.
