I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sybase in July 2009
Interview
I had a phone interview with one of the developers. He was easy to talk to and helped me work my way through problems. He asked database questions (inner vs outer join etc) as well as language questions (how C++ templates worked) as well as basic interview questions such as OOP and whatnot.
Got a phone call a week later saying my lack of experience ruled me out as a candidate
I applied through university. I interviewed at Sybase (Waterloo, ON) in Oct 2013
Interview
I think the employees who questioned me were not very experienced at conducting interviews. They did little to explain what project I would be given on my first work term. They also didn't ask me much about my experience. It seemed they just took my resume at face value.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have any experience with relational databases?
