I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2025
Interview
Very intense. Grilled for entire resume. Felt intimidating but fair, they know what they are looking for. Interviewed first round with MD, followed by a technical modelling assessment. Made to second round where I met with the analyst which was more casual.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC
Interview
Straight forward process, first round with HR, second round with managers of the team. Overall was 3/5, questions about working with teams, top strengths, why this company, all behavioural questions.

Question 1
Most successful team you were a part of, When you communicated with cross-functional teams
Just asked to do the assessment task and failed me. This has been happening with the CIBC since 2 years despite getting interviews from other banks. I don't know what could be the problem.

Question 1
Just general questions and finish a task by the end of application.
