      CPA Rotational Program Interview

      24 Sept 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Sun Life (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2020

      Interview

      The interview process begins with a virtual interview conducted through an online platform. Following this, if the recruitment team likes your recorded interview, then they will contact you for a virtual in-person interview. During the interview, I felt uncomfortable. The gentleman that was interviewing me made the experience one of the worst that I've been through in terms of job interviews. As a new graduate student, I do not have an excessive amount of experience during interviews however I assumed that the recruitment team would make the environment more welcoming since they were dealing with new graduate students. I was appalled to say the least by this interview, and knew the second the interview was over that I did not want to work for this company. Being a person of colour, I felt almost attacked by the set of questions in addition to the ones I put in my review, and the attitudes of the individuals that were interviewing me. In addition to this, during the end of the interview when I chose to ask a couple of questions to further understand the roles presented under the rotational program, the interviewers response felt as though I was annoying them.
