I applied online. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview process was challenging but overall a positive experience. The questions required thoughtful responses and a solid understanding of the role, which made it somewhat difficult. However, the interviewers were very friendly and supportive, creating a comfortable environment and allowing me to explain my experiences clearly. They were patient, approachable, and made the conversation feel more like a discussion than a strict evaluation.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CIBC in Jan 2026
Interview
Two interviews, one with HR, one with the hiring team. The process was very slow at first. It took roughly a month to get a reply, then things moved quickly, then it took another month for a final decision. I had accepted another offer by then. Everyone I interviewed was friendly, polite and asked good questions.
Interview process is neutral. The interview took around a hour and asked you to describe a challenge you faced at work and how you handled it. And also ask you to introduce yourself
