First they make you do a 160 question personality assessment before the first call which takes forever. HR screen after that then a panel with a risk manager and someone from a business line, questions on regulatory knowledge and a credit event scenario.

Friendly interviewers, good experience even without the offer. Quick HR call then team round covered risk management concepts and gave me a scenario about a real estate portfolio under stress conditions, what risk metrics I'd monitor. I knew VaR and CVaR but some of the real estate specific risk language was unfamiliar. Montreal office.

The interviewer asked about my interests, if I would be willing to take the SOA or CAS exams in the future. They asked a lot about projects that were on my resume and like to ask a lot of follow up questions. From what I know you were required to stay in the office until Dec 24 since its a very busy time for them.

The 160 question personality test they make you do before anything else even happens is wild, then had an HR chat and an interview with a floor manager and credit manager together. Questions about emerging trends in banking and whether I see compliance as a long term career, felt like they were testing if I'd stick around
