I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2012
Interview
First start with Phone interview. Most questions are behavior question. For example, what is your career goal in five years; what is your weakness; why do you want to work at CIBC; what is your understanding for this position; give an example about how to handle a difficult client. The Phone interview is about 30 min.
For the face to face interview, interviewer still ask a lot of behavior questions. Be sure to know company and prepare the role play question.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2020
Interview
Had meeting and spoke with branch manager before job posting, told to apply to job posting and do phone screening. Received call from recruiter without confirming call time with me beforehand. Did not have time to talk in depth as I was heading out to work, spoke for a few minutes and she said I didn't have enough experience. Recruiter didn't want to schedule follow up afterwards to have a in depth conversation on my skills and experience. Strange encounter to say the least.
