Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at OMERS (New York, NY) in July 2017.
Interview
Being interviewed by Omer's was by far, one of the most unprofessional experiences of my life. I was strung along for 2 1/2 months and given false hope the entire time. I was extremely excited for the potential opportunity but feel as though they aren't as clear on who they would like to hire.

Interview
Pretty easy interview process. General behavior questions. the Managers were very serious, makes the candidate feel nervous. Contract position, no career growth, needs to compete with other contracts for permanent positions. However formal training will be offered on the job. In general, I did not receive a very good offer so declined.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OMERS (Toronto, ON (Canada)) in January 2016.
Interview
The whole process was pretty straight forward. I received a call for an interview and met with two of the managers. They were very friendly and made you feel at ease. Standard behaviour questions, getting to know you and your background. Was called back in for a second interview and was given an offer at the end. It seems they are looking more for personality and how well they can train you/fit within the team than prior experience.

Got the interview through a recruiter. Was interviewed by two senior managers for the role. The interview process is rather straight forward at least as I came in as an experienced analyst.
