I was brought into the office. I first spent 15 minutes with the VP then had 1 interview with two Directors. I was given a case at the end and had 24 hours to send them the response.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at RBC in Mar 2008
Interview
Combination of peer behavioural interviews, with executive one on one interviews. The behavioural interviews were very standard and unimaginative. The people were however very welcoming and easy going - you are put at ease almost right away. Despite being quite standard, it is fairly easy to use the interview questions as a conversation. You are also welcome to ask questions - the staff are not taken aback by this and it is encouraged. A take home case was also used but not reviewed.
