I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group (Montreal, QC) in May 2011
Interview
Three interview: two on phone, one in person
Phone interview are between 20-30 minutes and consist of simple questions: making you speak in both languages, ask about current/former job, experience, school...
1:1 interview consists of several questions where the hiring manager fill up as she goes through them. About 45 minutes
Super easy, about two rounds with two people. The meetings went smoothly. In person walk ins to meet the manager helped. There isn’t much difficulty. Standard interview questions were asked as well.
