I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FDM Group (Toronto, ON)
Interview
I applied through my University's career website and was then given a phone call from Rachel. She asked me 1 or 2 questions about my IT background and i said i only have one intro to computer science course and she said thats enough. she then invited me to a group interview. The group interview was with 6 other candidates and Rachel and Keith. Keith was very nice, he led the interview in a very casual, relaxed manner. Joking about football (soccer, in the US) the whole time. We did introductions, (who are you, your educational/professional background, why FDM and if you could go to dinner with any famous person, who would it be.
Then we wrote an 'assessment'. We were given 1 hour but I finished in 50 minutes. It had multiple choice with questions like, what does HTTP stand for? What does URL stand for? Why the switch from IPv4 to IPv6? And a couple logic brain teasers. It also had us interpret one small half page of code and and an IF THEN ELSE flowchart which wasnt too indepth especially considering my lack of IT background.
Then we each did a 5-10 minute 1 on 1 with Keith.
Overall the interview wasn't too difficult. If you're a good candidate you'll know it and feel at ease.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FDM Group (Londres, Angleterre)
Interview
Telephone interview with pretty straight forward questions. Followed my assesment center consisting of three tests, logic test, Venn diagram test and Math test. Logic test had numerous questions which were technical, math and logic combined.
Followed by three interview with each interview five minutes long in whic they ask five questions and you are rotated. Quite stressful!

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FDM Group (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2013
Interview
First very brief phone interview: asked to describe what the company does, whether you are available to work in the country. Very simple.
Then on-site assessment in the following week: includes a technical test containing about 30 multiple choices to finish in an hour. I basically guessed most hardware questions. The logic questions included very easy brain teasers and code tracing questions.
During the test I was asked to interview with the hiring manager. No hard questions, briefly described my work experience and what I am looking to achieve with FDM.
