Interview
This is a co-op role. I had the 15-min HR interview. It actually only took 10 mins, bascally asking some questions about the resume and BQs. No self-introdcution. The HR seemed very tired, and I felt like she was interviewing for the whole day.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2025
Interview
Did a coding assessment, passed it, recruiter said they'll send me an interview request. One week later and still didn't get an interview request, so I email them. They ended sending me an interview for another senior role. I was laid off at the time, and the recruiter kept mentioning they are only looking for people who won't leave.
