Friendly conversation mixed with technical questions. All the interviewers are encouraging and friendly. Was asked to write code to answer questions on paper. Was required to explain the complexity of the algorithm I came up with.

Question 1
What would you describe as a failure in your previous projects?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CARIS (Canada) (Fredericton, NB)
Interview
Typical interview, met with QA Coordinator and the HR Manager. They asked the typical questions and I was asked to take a skills test to see how I would approach testing. Overall the interview went very well.
If they like you then you meet with the CEO who usually does all of the final interviews himself.

Question 1
"Tell us about yourself."
"What are your future goals?"
"What do you know about CARIS?"
"Why do you think you would make a good fit for our company?"
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CARIS (Canada) in Apr 2010
Interview
Contacted by phone for the interview, scheduled within the week. Panel interview of 2 (future supervisor and a human resources representative), with 5-6 questions focused on what my experience was, why should we hire you. Seemed very professional. Some positions go on to meet/interview with the owner of the company, although mine at the time did not.
