Interview
Met with the area manager and another manager for a 1-on-1 interview; they were very kind and asked normal interview questions. The interview lasted about 15 minutes, and they said I'd get a call from them over the next few days about whether I was successful. They called about 15 hours after the interview to let me know they'd like to proceed.

The panel interview was well planned and well run. There were 2 rounds of interview for me. Each session is about an hour. The interviewers respect and treat the candidates well.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Salvation Army (Calgary, AB)
Interview
How they treated the candidates is a reflection of the company's brand and culture. There were a lot of red flags during the interactions with the recruiter. First, he arrived late to the interview and did not apologize. Then, he cut me off when I was answering his question and did not let me finish my answer. The last straw was that he ended the interview early without providing a reason. Although he offered to get back to me the following week, he did not follow through despite my follow-up email. This was disrespectful to candidates' time, unprofessional behaviour during the interview, and not accountable for his own commitment. I would not work for a company that allows this kind of unprofessionalism. And I have stopped my donations to this company that mistreats people. This was a huge disappointment!
