CIBC Wood Gundy interview questions

You Meet with manger of the branch and then with the individual team. Every interview process is different as each team has its own culture. Therefore it’s difficult to give advice on the interview process.

This was hands down one of the most unprofessional and frustrating interview experiences I've had. After going through the standard steps: application, availability sharing, and scheduling; I was set for an interview. Then came the first red flag: the interview location was in another city, requiring a 45-minute commute each way. Despite the inconvenience, I was still willing to attend. Before committing to a 90-minute round-trip on my day off, I asked a basic, reasonable question: “What’s the salary range for this role?” The response? A vague, corporate-lingo-laden explanation about “how pay is structured.” No actual numbers. No transparency. Just pure corporate dodgeball. So, I followed up with a direct ask: “Can you provide the actual range in numbers?” And then? Silence. No response. No update. Nothing. Next day, I checked the application portal and saw that my application had been quietly closed. Not because of a lack of qualifications. Not because of a poor interview. But simply for asking about salary. 🚩 If a company dodges salary questions before hiring, imagine how they handle raises. 🚩 If they ghost candidates for wanting clarity, imagine how they treat employees who ask for fair pay. 🚩 If transparency is a problem now, what else will be a problem later? A hiring process isn’t just about proving you’re the right fit, the company needs to prove they’re worth working for, too. And in this case? They proved the opposite. Would I recommend interviewing here? Absolutely not!
