Interview
30 min phone interview with the recruiter was comprised of pretty basic questions (i.e., walk me through your experience, expectations on the role, etc.). I was also provided 10min at the end to ask questions about the role, team, etc.

Question 1
In a certain specific scenario, how would you deal with something like this? How have you dealt with it in the past? What was the outcome of that situation?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group
Interview
Interview process was very straightforward and typical - classic HR screening, manager interview and then senior leadership panel. The interview process lasted give it or take 4 weeks. After final round they took 3 weeks to then send an automated email. You would think that BMO is a professional place but clearly not - my own assessment was wrong.

Which products should we offer?
(Note position wasn’t focused on product so there was even a disconnect between hiring manager and senior leadership)
