I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TD (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2020
Interview
Superficial and with visible problems with racial bias. It was visible that the person doing the interview was just trying to complete their process with a minimum amount of people, before moving to their chosen candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you see yourself working here, coming from a culture like Latin America? Do you think you can adapt to a Canadian company?
I applied online. I interviewed at TD (Toronto, ON)
Interview
the interview process goes :-
phone call
face to face
this situation went from
email from the hiring manager
phone call form the hiring manager
then face to face interview with the hiring manager and his manager (and his managers' manager)
i.e. the sr manager (hiring manager), the director and the senior director
this organization needs to include HR representatives in their interviews, the hiring manager should be allowed to interview applicants seperately from the HR reps. The HR reps that are included in the process need to observe that a standardized interview process is being adhered to.
or else, as a worst case scenario, the hiring managers will be allowed to come up with their decision to accept/reject applicants based on their mood. If TD is willing to accept this risk, that is unfortunate since this practice is considered a best practice all accross the globe among the more prestigious organizations.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
I never had a chance from the beginning. The first thing that the senior director said was 'you don't know anything' before I had a chance to introduce myself.
there never was a list of questions prepared by the interviewers, since whenever i was requesting clarity on their ambigously defined questioned, their questions would be ad-libbed on the spot to allow for an ambigiously defined answers.
Not very professional at all.
