I applied online. I interviewed at Ford Motor Company
Interview
Applied on Ford site, got a call next day for interview. Interview was a webex call with the hiring manager. It was a pair programming challenge using TDD. I struggled with TDD when trying to think very simple, small steps. I kept thinking of the solution and solving that, rather than taking it piece by piece. The engineering manager gave me instant feedback at the end of the call and was extremely professional. Gave me sound advice. Didn't get an offer but still had a very positive experience.

I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Ford Motor Company (Waterloo, ON) in Oct 2024
Interview
Heavily focused on technical aspects with OOP and multi-thread knowledge based on C++. Started with 2-3 minute of self-introduction, then asked some C++ core knowledge and finally 2 coding questions on implementing multithread in c++. Fairly difficult for junior position.

Interview
Tons of C++ trivia, mainly about OOP and stuff. Nothing really past though, not much of OOP design patterns, more of just how OOP works in C++ like keywords like virtual and stuff.
Was a quick 30 minutes interview. The interviewers gave a brief description of the job position and talked about what they’re working one. We talked about pass experiences and then moved on with some programming questions.
