I applied online. I interviewed at CIBC (Chicago, IL) in May 2025
Interview
I applied online and had my initial recruiter screening over a month later. Unfortunately, the recruiter didn’t come across as very professional, and the conversation felt impersonal.
The first round interview was scheduled with someone from the data team, but the interview coordinator gave me a different name than the person who actually conducted the interview, which felt a bit disorganized. The interview itself was straightforward, but I received a rejection just a few days later.
Overall, the process was short, but I didn’t feel particularly valued as a candidate, and the experience lacked the professionalism I expected.
