I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OpenText (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2021
Interview
Initial interview with project manager. Then about a week later had four half-hour technical interviews. These were with the actual team members. Then another interview with the same manager and her boss. So, the second round of interviews took about two and a half hours.
The first two technical interview panels were good and I enjoyed answering the questions, including the questions from their principal software engineer. The second two interview panels had interviewers with poor quality English speakers. I had to keep asking them to repeat the questions. This company is using old tech (including WCF) and is desperately trying to move to the cloud (Azure) and is seeking someone with Azure Devops skills, even though it was described as optional. I design and develop software and I am not interested in becoming someone that only deploys software, I kept saying that but they did not understand. I think they don't understand the difference between someone that designs and developers software versus someone that design their build and deployment environment!
4 rounds- 3 technical and 1 managerial. Rounds were pretty comfortable. I was asked based on my experience and design choices. There was a system design question and a coding question as well. A little bit of low level design question were also involved.
I was interviewed by 2 Enterprise Architects but the job was not something I got from HR. I was not prepared at all, but due to my 20 years practical experience, there is no problem for me.

Interview
This was a very funny interview. The interview questions were very simple but still the interviewer was looking for answers in certain fashion. And after getting to know about the break from work I took and the "deligency" in taking that break, he took it a little personal I think. Anyways it was going to be a practice interview so I am not bothered but it could have been interesting but it was not. I had some trouble sharing my ide's screen but that got sorted out. Man what a dissapointing interview. I won't even call it a practice interview anymore.
Tip: Don't share personal stuff with anyone.
