I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at CIBC (Kelowna, BC) in Jan 2018
Interview
I was called to set up a phone interview and then the next day I was called by my local branch to set up another interview but my call was never returned from the branch so I went through with my phone interview. It started out great. I was asked things like why did I apply for the job, what I thought the job duties were and all the kind of stuff. At the end of the interview I asked what would happen next and she told me I should know the position was actually filled already and there were no other openings in my area but she encouraged me to keep looking. This really upset me. I had just wasted 15-20 minutes of my time. I feel like telling me at the end of the interview was very unprofessional when I could have been told in the beginning and had the choice of going through with the interview or not. This left a very bitter taste in my mouth about CIBC a company I would have loved to work for up until this point.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Calgary, AB) in Feb 2016
Interview
Started with basic interview questions that later on developed interaction with two managers, one who asked, and the other who recorded the answers. Later got an offer but declined due to scheduling conflicts.
