I applied through other source. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2018
Interview
I got the interview by reaching out to the direct superior of the position. He called me in, invited a director to participate who had a similar position opened. Questions were basic, mostly about my background. I went prepared to the interview to display how my past experience related to the job posting, as I had never worked in the financial industry before.
I was invited to continue in the process, had another 2 interviews, the last one with the VP.
Important to notice that between the first and second interview there was a 5 week hiatus and because of the long wait I reached out to the interviewer for some feedback which seemed to kick things of again.

Question 1
Details your experience managing projects.
Are you confortable being an individual contributor?
Really friendly call with someone from HR. Nothing too complex but they have a keen interest on key accomplishments and team work. They will get back to you with an update making you feel optimistic, but then a generic decline letter is provided several weeks later.

Question 1
What was your typical work load and how did you find it (challenging, rewarding etc).
The entire procedure is remarkably swift, taking a mere two weeks from the initial stage all the way to the final completion. You can expect a rapid turnaround, where every step in the process unfolds efficiently and effectively within this short timeframe
Interviewer was kind, asked some tough questions, but I think he had a specific candidate in mind. The issue was more that he specifically said, "We don't like to leave candidates hanging, so you'll hear from us soon."
That's fine - but HR never followed up, and despite my reaching out, twice, to the personal email of the HR professional managing this, she never responded. Just very unprofessional - people commit time and energy to interviews. If it's a no, you should communicate that.

Question 1
