I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2016
Interview
1. Networking event at school in late January. Human resource managers, Directors, alumni. Concentrate on the group that you are interested but make sure to make your rounds, make it a point to say hello to the Director organizing the event.
2. Submitted my application through a private link.
I received the link from career services. I was not a public link.
3. 10 minute speed interview at school
In a large room with about 10 other interviews ongoing. Basic fit questions.
4. 1-1.5hr panel interview with Director, Senior Manger, Manger.
Very stressful interview. Behavioural and case questions.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Scotiabank
Interview
Pretty straightforward. Interviewers were very nice and questions were mostly behavioural. Technical questions were not overly complex, and tested thought process and ability to think on the spot more than heavy technical knowledge.
The first round was Group coffee chat. It is in a group of 10-12 people. It is virtual. It is semi-formal round just to introduce each other and expalining the further rounds and how internship works in the company.
