Recruiter asked me a few general questions, such as why leave current company and salary expectation. Then gave a code test. After I passed the test, then I interviewed by the manager and developers.

CIBC relies on skills tests to determine suitability for a technical candidate. While common practice, this is the red flag. Candidates with lots of experience will not like to be treated the same way as juniors coming fresh off University. CIBC did not talk to me until I passed their online skills test, not even a courtesy "hello" type of call. This is the second red flag. After passing their skills test, I had a video call with their recruiter, followed by another video call with the hiring manager. They all had the video feed off but required me to have mine on. This is the 3rd red flag, as I consider it lack of respect and professional courtesy. After all the interviews I was ghosted. Completely. This is another red flag that I have for CIBC. Lastly, what transpired from the interviews was that their salary bands and benefits sit below what other banks offer, except for their defined benefit pension (which is only good for younger people who spend a lot of time at CIBC). This is the last red flag.
