I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at BMO US (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2015
Interview
The manager said she didn't have time to look at my resume and she asked me to go over it. She didn't like my bachelor degree and laughed at my face. My bachelor's degree is Chemical Engineering and it is actually nothing to be ashamed of. She didn't care about my master's degree in Finance and she basically shut me off. I applied through agency and feedback was totally stupid as I mentioned before she didn't like my back ground. Nothing much happened at the interview. Nothing special. Make sure you know Access.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BMO US (Tempe, AZ)
Interview
Super easy process. Screening followed by an interview with a hiring manager and another interview with another manager. Everyone was nice and forthcoming. The process was smooth, interview relatively easy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a projects where you used Power BI. What other applications have you used?
3 interviews with about 2-3 people from the company, it was a long process. not a ton of techincal questions more on the behavioral side and learning more about you.
Overall, it was an easy interview process and a pretty positive experience for both the employer and myself. Make sure you know what is going on in the markets / finance world
