I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cicada Design (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied via email, got quick response back (few hours) to come in at my convivence. Came in when I was able to as I was in school. We sat in board room, looked through my portfolio, after looking through the company's to understand their work/style and it was more of a show and tell. At the time there were two owners, so both came in and it was 2 to 1 but was very pleasant and not intimidating .
Overall very nice interview, left very good taste and opinion in me and was enthusiastic about the process.
Took a bit longer to hear back than I would have wanted to but it was a busy month for them so it was understandable.

Interview
Pleasant in general. Focused on understanding your process/experience and review your portfolio. Having animation skills, video editing seems to be required as much as being able to produce realistic renders with vray, modeling in 3Ds max and knowledge of unreal engine.
