A pre-screening call from HR and then a formal virtual interview with the hiring manager & director. Very informal & a good discussion overall. Just prepare based on the topic.

I interviewed for Category Manager, Field Services. Position based in Montréal but the team is located in Vancouver - 15 min RH call - 30 min Category lead interview - 1h Panel Interview, 3 Category Leads - Case Study preparation - 1h Case study presentation, 2 Category Leads, 1 Director. They want you to prepare a case study that will include market research, Procurement analysis, and Financial analysis, prepare a PowerPoint presentation and show the Excel sheet with all the calculations. All of that in an innovative way. Basically, a work of research and analysis that normally takes a month to do in any regular job, they want you to do it for FREE in 6 days as if you have nothing more important to do during that time and as if you were already one of their employees. Then, you have to present to 3 white middle-aged men based in Vancouver, who will question you as if you were already one of their employees. Very old-school and toxic environment during the case study presentation. As for the innovation, they just want to see your Excel skills, don't bother to show more modern tools, they won't understand. The difficulty is not for the content but for the toxic environment during the case study presentation. I am not surprised that the position has been online for 2 months. After the case study interview, I asked to withdraw from the hiring process. If you are looking for old school, all-white middle-aged man environment, this is definitely a place for you.
