I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intact (Calgary, AB) in Nov 2014
Interview
Phone Interview, called about 2 weeks after I applied. Girl on the phone was annoying and immature. Seemed really into driving down my salary expectations from the get go. Generally an unpleasant experience as far as they go.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Intact
Interview
Took part in a unique group interview. Had great feedback from hiring team. Called in for a second interview. Pretty straight forward, standard interview questions (behavioural in nature).
Did not get the offer as it seems that Intact prefers to hire/promote from within. In 2013-2014, 33% of current staff was hired/promoted from within the company (as disclaimed during the group interview process).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very standard behavioural questions.
Name a time where you encountered (a problem), how did you solve it, what was the result.
They start off by a phone interview, they called 2 weeks after I applied, and asked general questions. Afterwards you will have to wait for another call to confirm whether you passed the phone interview to get an interview in person.
In person interview : they were really really nice people, and they asked a lot of questions and went into very deep questions concerning past experiences. Went through every inch of the CV. Interview lasted 1 hour.
