I applied online. I interviewed at CIBC in Jan 2026
Interview
The interview itself was fine, nothing special but I could tell there’s no culture. No communication after an interview, very unprofessional approach, the job just disappeared after 6 weeks of waiting, no answer to a follow up email
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Boring set of questions:
Tell me about yourself
How do you prioritize tasks etc
Not too hard, simple Leetcode problems, a lot of questions about resume and programming languages, questions on Database as well. Also asked one sql problem, simple textbook problem, not very hard. They don’t open camera though
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CIBC
Interview
I applied through an internal referral link, and my reference emailed the recruiter and the hiring manager, introducing my profile and attaching my resume to the email. That's how I landed an interview. The first round was a screening call, and the second round was an in-person interview.
