I applied online. I interviewed at FDM Group (Sídney)
Interview
(Note: I was based in Auckland, NZ throughout the recruitment process).
I got a phone call a couple months after I applied and it was just a casual chat; just the recruiter wanting to get to know you better. After the call, I as emailed resources on how to prepare for the interviews to follow.
This was followed shortly by a Video Interview with the same recruiter. No technical questions; purely behavioural and very doable considering the resources given prior.
Once I passed the Video Interview, there was an Assessment Centre which included one other NZer on the call and a recruiter. We were individually taken into breakout rooms. Here, we had an interview with an Account Manager followed by a Technical Interview shortly after.
The questions asked by the Account Manager is very much the same as those in the Video Interview. The Technial Interview was very very simple; I was asked about arrays.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Overall, the questions revolve around how you are driven, adaptable, resilient, curious, etc. OWTTE and should be answered using the STAR framework.
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
