The interview process at no point actually tested my technical skills and was more focused on your ability to respect FDM seniors and clients. It felt very repetitive and came across as very sketchy of what they actually wanted, or how they were going to treat their hires. Being offered poor pay for where I was gonna be living, and ultimately not hiring me for the type of work I had applied for. The most technical part of the interview was a basic math and logic quiz.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between how you communicate with your peers, FDM seniors, and the clients?
Screener Call with a recruiter, very basic technical assessment with programming challenges, then a video interview. Quick review of your resume and projects, very straightforward. Recieved a call from the recruiter about a week later saying the team wanted to hire me but couldn't confirm a start date yet, but probably could in the coming weeks.
For the next 6 months I received a call from FDM once per month asking me if I was still interested in the role, and informing me that they could not confirm a start date. While waiting for FDM I applied, interviewed, and received an offer for another company, which I accepted.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you've had a disagreement with a colleague, how did you resolve this?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Toronto, ON)
Interview
OA then HR then a group interview. Not very technical. The OA is easy. The HR call is basiclly just going over your resume, The group interview is like a case study.
The interview was mostly focused on my resume and past projects. They asked a few technical questions about APIs and database basics. I wasn’t able to answer one question properly, but I stayed calm and explained my approach. Overall, it went decent
