I applied online. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON)
Interview
The interview went fairly well. I felt confident in the beginning but started to feel nervous halfway through when the technical questions became more challenging.
I was well-prepared with company research and behavioral questions, but I underestimated the complexity of some of the technical questions.
1st round with. senior manager, 2nd round with. team director, both rounds are overall very smooth and caring. Neither of them contained any technical questions, the whole process are only consisted with all behaviors questions. Overall great experience.
