I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at TD (Toronto, ON) in May 2015
Interview
After being referred, I was first invited for a technical interview. Two days later I had another one with a manager. The manager was mainly interested in my past experience (asked about some entries on my resume), soft skills (communication, team work), and technical writing.
I had an impression they liked my technical skills. Nonetheless, they chose someone with a prior bank experience. (I did not work for a financial institution before.)
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
A series of technical questions on: Black-Scholes formula, binomial option pricing model, and how they are related.
Applied through agency, got invite for written assessment followed by interview with hiring manager. Written assessment was scenario based questions - they will give a situation and you need to determine what indicators are at play and if there was suspicious activity warranting further review.
