The interview process was very straight forward, first interview with branch director. Then you have another interview with the branch director and another branch director. They will ask situational questions mostly but also questions about your past experiences.

The whole process felt pretty straightforward and manageable, with just enough pressure to keep things interesting. First, I had a chat with one of the Bank's recruiters. After that, I had two more interviews with people from the team I'd be joining, one of them being the senior manager and the other the Vice-president.

Behavioral Technical

I got referred by an internal employee for a personal finance advisor position in Quebec. I was then contacted by phone for an online test and a phone interview, which I passed with flying colors. However, the in-person interview was the most uncomfortable interview experience I've ever had. One interviewer kept looking at their phone while I was answering questions, and the other one clearly showed boredom through their sighs. I felt from the beginning that my fate was already sealed, but since I was referred, they had to pretend. My intuition was right because they sent me a rejection email. I'm a client of this bank, but honestly, for a bank that claims to stand out by valuing each candidate's unique potential, I am very disappointed with the behavior of these two managers. I will probably close my account and switch banks.
