They took a few weeks to get back to me after sending my application. When they did, I had a chat with the president virtually and then a tour/site-interview with the team leads on a different date. They were very flexible and accommodating with the interview timeline and paid for my travel fees.
Both the initial chat and the interview were very casual and friendly.
You had to include multiple references to send an application, even though they won’t be contacted until you pass the interviews. There were two in total. The first one was a video call to get to know you better. The second one was in-person and focused on problem-solving. The interviewer came across as dismissive, did not respond well to clarifying questions, and provided no guidance.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Planar Motor (Richmond, BC) in Jan 2024
Interview
It was an extremely unprofessional interview process. The company changed the recruitment steps on the fly. Also, they asked candidates to provide a bunch of references before even going into the final stage.
