- interview takes too long - they are looking into streamlining the process - many rounds, first just with recruiting, second with leader - background checks take at least 3 weeks - onboarding process was fast

The interview process consisted of a Video interview recording and Competency assessment. Followed by an in person screening. The overall process was a positive experience, however the video recording aspect can be odd initially (if used to in-person or video call meetings)

I applied online. I interviewed at Suncor (Calgary, AB) in May 2023

Interview

As others have described , the first step is an online “interview” which is actually where you are self-recording timed responses to a handful of questions - some are generic, some are specific to the role. I found this step of the process very awkward and impersonal, but I recognize that it helps the company screen candidates faster. After this step, I was then selected for an actual online interview with two members of the team along with an HR recruiter. The fact that it was going to be a 3:1 interview was not communicated beforehand - I personally had no problem with it, but I think candidates deserve to know a detail like this in advance to better prepare themselves. The conversation was very natural and the questions were about my past experiences and my familiarity/interest in treasury, along with the current initiatives the team is focused on. Unfortunately, shortly after my interview the company announced widespread layoffs and the recruiter let me know that the position had been put on hold (i.e., hiring freeze). Overall I think the interview process at Suncor is reasonably well organized, though it definitely has hallmarks of a large, process-heavy legacy company.
