Interviewed Dec 2011 in New York, NY (took 6 months)
Number of interviews from a number of team members (junior and senior). Trying to expand presence in the US market. Acting cautious - not sure if they want to hire at all levels. While this may be good strategy in an established market (from example Canada), in the US market the process can be long and convoluted.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
I had to interview twice with RBC Capital Markets for a job in the UNIX engineering department. The first interview included a written questionnaire as well as an interview with a team. Then came a series of one on one interviews with various members of the team, from consultants to managers. This closed the first round of interviews.
I had to visit for a second round of interviews with the business unit or customer for the UNIX engineering group I was interviewing with. This interview with a lot more technical and I felt like the interviewers had attitude and a little of a superiority complex. They asked a lot of conceptual questions as well as pretty deep technical questions with regards to performance and low latency.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
The financial advisor and branch manager sat down with me and had me go over the reasons I would like to go with them. They asked me specific questions regarding my resume too. They really didn't throw any curve balls; it was very straight forward for the most part. Just show confidence in yourself.

Interviewed May 2008 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
There was a couple of guys in the room (probably brokers). There was two of the applicants including myself, asked mainly general questions (what do you like to do? why you applied? what's your career goal?). Talked a lot of how this job requires perseverance and how it'll be very rewarding in the end. The pay was only through commission + low wage. Seeing that both of us were not that excited the guys went into sales mode and talked a lot of potential benefits of the job.

Reason for Declining
It seemed like an average sales job, dressed into a glorious position of a broker assistant.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Montreal, QC (Canada) (took 5 days)
You are invited to a private information session where 2 wealth managers are present and the HR recruiter. Once you apply online through the campus recruitment, you are asked to come in for an interview. The people above are from Toronto and first interview is in Montreal.
The interview is part behavioural and part technical.
Example of tech questions: What is your favourite stock, what stock would you sell. What currency would you short or buy? What BRIG country would you invest in? How are bonds priced at right now? In your opinion what is the economic outlook for the next 12-18 months? If you had a million dollars what would you invest in? etc...
You are then called back within 2 weeks to come to the final round of interviews in Toronto where only 15 people are selected, and 5 are chosen for the rotational program.
