      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      - Recruitment Agency contacted me for the role; gave interviews with them - got the final interview with the team and the HOD; - team asked me about my school projects regarding the Derivatives & Structured Product Analysis that I have done; what was my part, the outcome, etc. - team asked me technical questions; I had CFA Level 2 so that was alright - After team, HOD came and gave me 2 exams: 1 was a logic programming quiz & another was an Excel Quiz - I did well on the quizzes... they asked me questions on the softwares I used; - had a good conversation overall; but i felt that the reason they took som1 else was because the whole team was really quant based (all were computer science or acturial science majors) - i have a master of Finance which is technical but not to that extent; so I guess i wasnt fit
