I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group in Sep 2014
Interview
There are two interviewee from BMO Capital Market. First one is the M&A associate, and he asked about technical part. Stock pitch, recent market transaction, EV/EBITDA multiples. Depth is very important. The second part is the behaviour, please go over your resume, why BMO.

Interview
First round was fairly easy and straight forward final round was PE question heavy, but still pretty easy. No Paper LBO, no merger math. Some weird Behavioral scenarios in both first round and final round.

I interviewed at BMO Financial Group (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
Virtual Interview with existing team members - associates followed by seniors in later rounds. Technical heavy with some questions on behaviourals. Overall a pretty standard process for IB interviews. Nothing additional to share

Interview
Fair interview for the job - I thought the questions they asked were reasonable and typical of what you would consider a standard interview to entail. Typical length as well.
