I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OMERS (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2016
Interview
The whole process was pretty straight forward. I received a call for an interview and met with two of the managers. They were very friendly and made you feel at ease. Standard behaviour questions, getting to know you and your background. Was called back in for a second interview and was given an offer at the end. It seems they are looking more for personality and how well they can train you/fit within the team than prior experience.
The interview was quick, relaxing and easy. It was a positive experience. There were no difficult/unusual/technical questions for my position. A few situational questions were asked and that's it. The managers were also very friendly and nice. I even learned more about the role during the process.
