Submitted app, then a recruiter reached out a week later. Scheduled an in person interview 2 weeks later. Followed up with HM and recruiter 3x times then silence for 45 days always with 'I will follow up with an update next week' and they never do. So, after a 2.5 month long drawn out interview process, I still stand here ghosted.

Behavioral Other
I interviewed at BMO and the job posting was misleading about the salary and the team. The recruiter was too eager. I continued hoping to get accurate info from team members. It was disappointing. The job description may not be accurate. Transparency is key. I had 2 interviews. The people seemed nice but the culture wasn't a fit. The first manager seemed immature. The second senior manager was clued in but I ended the interview as I wasn't interested. It was more of a conversation, not an interrogation. Banks can be unsophisticated, I prefer working with top talent and professionalism.

Behavioral Technical
So first there's a phone interview with the recruiter, they'll ask you stuff like why you wanna work here and go over your resume. Then you'll interview with the hiring manager, maybe with an assistant manager too. They'll ask behaviorial questions like "tell me about a time" or "give me an example of your experience and how you handled it" – they want to hear specific situations, what you did, and how it turned out. The hiring manager might also have you meet with their manager, the market manager. After that, you just wait to hear back from the recruiter about an offer, or you'll get an email if it's a rejection.
