Behavioral Technical Coding

I had a really good time interviewing at CIBC. The interview process was put together well and was very professional. Each person I talked to took their time to explain the job and what they were looking for. I liked that they asked good questions and that I could talk about my technical skills and working with different teams. It all felt organized, like they respected my time, and it showed me they have a good team culture.

Technical

Had a hour technical interview with a senior or a director, I don’t know his position but he was really old. First red flag was the random interview invite without checking in with my availability a day before the interview. During the interview he asked me really random questions like how did you install 000, how do you check the version etc that I found really confusing. He went in depth with my resume but idk the format was really confusing. It was really exhausting.
