I applied online. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2024
Interview
First step was a teams calll with the hiring manager to ask the basic questions, my work experience and where I saw my self in 5 years. Then a 45 minutes interview with the team lead. He asked about 3 questions and asked me to do a project retrospective on the spot. I was ghosted for a month and got a rejection letter when I reached out for an update
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CIBC in Jan 2026
Interview
Two interviews, one with HR, one with the hiring team. The process was very slow at first. It took roughly a month to get a reply, then things moved quickly, then it took another month for a final decision. I had accepted another offer by then. Everyone I interviewed was friendly, polite and asked good questions.
The interview process typically involves an initial screening, followed by technical and behavioral assessments, project management case studies, stakeholder communication evaluation, methodology discussions, risk management scenarios, and final negotiations on salary and expectations.
Met with PMO head.
2nd interview with Dev, BA, and a Sr PM
3rd interview with business partners
and this must have at least thirty words but I think that you get the idea
