I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2017
Interview
It was a face-to-face interview. The interview was not well-structured and I was not given enough opportunity to discuss my value proposition in detail. The interviewers were friendly but the interview process appeared to be rushed which made me feel a lack of interest.

Phone interview followed by a face-to-face interview. Phone interview focused on informing me of the job responsibilities and checking if I am amiable enough to be called for a 1:1 interview.
The 1:1 interview went amazingly well. The interviewers made me feel at ease and were interested in my work experiences to determine if I will be a good fit for the company.
