Interview
Simple, video recorded,soft-skill questions based. Had to record everything within a short amount of time which is very hard and requires practice. The questions range from easy to hard but no technical questions, mostly about working in teams, demanding conditions, why you would be a good fit, these kind of questions.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Suncor Energy (Calgary, AB) in Jun 2017
Interview
There was an online questionnaire that asked a few skills and personality questions. These questions were kinda difficult since there was time crunch. There was also a video interview. These asked some basic questions about academics and where I was living. Overall the interview process seemed quite fair and manageable.
Initially sent an email to complete a video interview through HireVu. Got a call a few days later to set up a time for an in-person interview. Overall interview was basic. Behavioural questions. The interviewers were extremely friendly.
