Interview
The HR screening was regular and alright.
The interview from the director was not the best experience and he was rude. He starts a video interview without having his camera on nor explaining his absence on camera, asks questions in a condescending tone, became snarky about the questions I asked back and eventually started telling me that he didn’t believe my years of experience was enough to justify the salary I was asking.
If salary was truly an issue, I feel that they could have done the decent thing of not selecting me for an interview to begin with.
I get that the role of software delivery in a bank isn’t the easiest and I feel that the interviewer wanted to test my resiliency in the environment. However the interviewer was rude, disrespectful and condescending and I personally would never want to work for him even if he offers me a higher than expected salary.
CIBC should look into making the candidate experience more empathetic and honest like what the job description said, this interview really showed that they were anything but empathetic and honest in their job posting.

Interview
they called me on the phone and scheduled a phone interview. The interview itself was very simple, just the very common questions asked. People were kind and very easy to talk to.
