I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at MDA (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2015
Interview
15 minute HR interview with standard HR questions ("Why do you want to work at MDA?" "I notice your resume says x, can you give an example?" "Do you have any questions for me?". I passed this round and went on to a series of three 45-minute interviews with different teams at MDA, all evaluating me for their own projects. This is where all the technical questions came up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical interviewers combed through all the details of my resume and got me to talk about everything. There was a C++ bug hunt and small algorithm challenge. There were lots of point blank technical questions about databases, various C++ data structures, stuff like that. Overall it was challenging but I felt they took it easy on me because the position is intended for people fresh out of school.
