The process was as smooth as it could have been. I was updated timely with the steps. The interview was conversational and informative, totally based on the projects I have worked on earlier.
I applied online. I interviewed at CIBC (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2020
Interview
First interview was a phone screen about 15 minutes. Second Interview if selected is a 2 hour Teams meeting with 4 different people including the hiring manager.
No follow up after. Received a rejection letter 5 months after the interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in May 2019
Interview
Met with HR by phone, then met a Senior Director, then a Director. I was offered the position a few days later. I didn't really get a great vibe--it was very stiff and corporate.
