Interview
I submitted an online application. On the day the posting closed, I got an e mail request for a telephone interview. I had a 45 minute telephone interview (was supposed to be 30 min) with a Toronto based recruiter. We had a pleasant conversation, though the questions were slightly hard for a screening interview. A few days later, I got an e mail requesting an in-person interview with the hiring manager. However, I was an out-of-town candidate, so I ended up having a second telephone interview. The hiring manager did not seem really engaged though - she sounded bored and uninterested in me, and seemed to be rushing through the questions. This interview was only 40 minutes, but it was scheduled for 1 hour.

Interview
Was pretty straight forward. The HR person did not ask the generic tell me about yourself. It was more of scenario based questions. So be prepared for behavioural questions, have some stories you want to tell.
