I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2015
Interview
Very simply and smooth process, referred by current employee, received phone interview request one week later, and informed immediately after the phone interview, and scheduled a HR face to face interview. Get the job offer one week after the f2f interview. Most of the questions were sales related questions. Some question overlap btw two interviews, better prepare more examples for the behavior questions.
