I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2019
Interview
First a cultural fit and skills interview. Then a take-home case where you need to build a presentation that you are going to show a week after to other managers and a director in the same team
Really friendly call with someone from HR. Nothing too complex but they have a keen interest on key accomplishments and team work. They will get back to you with an update making you feel optimistic, but then a generic decline letter is provided several weeks later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was your typical work load and how did you find it (challenging, rewarding etc).
Interviewer was kind, asked some tough questions, but I think he had a specific candidate in mind. The issue was more that he specifically said, "We don't like to leave candidates hanging, so you'll hear from us soon."
That's fine - but HR never followed up, and despite my reaching out, twice, to the personal email of the HR professional managing this, she never responded. Just very unprofessional - people commit time and energy to interviews. If it's a no, you should communicate that.

Question 1
Describe an average day at your previous role and how it relates to this one.
The entire procedure is remarkably swift, taking a mere two weeks from the initial stage all the way to the final completion. You can expect a rapid turnaround, where every step in the process unfolds efficiently and effectively within this short timeframe
