Smooth and quick. Minimal fuss on number of interview rounds. Telephonic conversation followed by 2 rounds of short interviews, mostly centred around behavioural aspects and past experiences. Quick communication and offer.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Vancouver, BC) in Mar 2024
Interview
BIW 400 refer to it, because it's mainly based on that. You usually have one interview with analysts and one interview with associates, be prepared for brain teasers. If they ask you a hard question and you get stuck, be coachable and stay calm.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Halifax, NS)
Interview
General Phone screen first, where they're asking questions generally pulled from your resume and the job description.
Second Interview was in-person with the hiring manager and another department head. Overall the mood was pretty casual, asking general questions about me and banking.
I didn't get an offer, but I appreciated that they sent update emails and a non-canned email from the hiring manager when I didn't get it. Didn't just leave you in the dark. Overall good experience.
