There were three parts to the interview process. First I was screened by a telephone call by the VP of the Vancouver office. He asked fairly general questions and was open to being asked questions as well. He's a good communicator so it went pretty smoothly. After the phone screen, I was invited for an in-person interview at the office. The VP as well as a senior engineer attended. I was asked more questions from the VP about my work experience. I was then given a coding exercise to do on a white-board. These are always a bit nerve racking but it didn't take too long to complete and both interviewers were respectful and willing to answer any questions for me. I also got an opportunity to deliver some tough questions to both the interviewers. Lastly, I was invited to have a beer with the development manager and the VP again. We had an hour long conversation over a couple of pints about the companies history and future. I thought it was a really cool gesture from them as it was an opportunity for both parties to talk informally and get to know each other.
