Straightforward with coding assessment and interview. Went through a first process then invited for the coding assessment and then invited for an interview where there was a mix of coding and knowledge questions on finance and economics, depending on the department that is interviewing you.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bank of Canada (Ottawa, ON) in Mar 2024
Interview
The interview style depends on the team you are interviewing for. Prepare accordingly with general economics knowledge. They push you and try to see how far your knowledge will go until you can not really answer. This shows how you think about the position
