I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group
Interview
Short, one interview before I was offered the position. The interview itself was about an hour long and consisted of the person I interviewed with talking about the position and really explaining the day to day operations. Was asked about how I felt doing the work that I was going to be doing and did a lot of explaining about why I wanted the position. Was more of a get to know the person type interview as opposed to a skill set type.

Question 1
Explain your knowledge for the financial statements
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2025
Interview
One video recorded interview and then one big super day. Three different zooms with two other people from all different groups. One zoom was a case study. They asked a lot of behavioral questions - honestly all “tell me a time “ type of stories.
Poor. Interviewer missed interview twice. Did not reach out unless I reached out. Staff seem overworked and stressed out. Immediately lost my enthusiasm for the job. The recruitment world has lost morals and integrity.
