I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at RBC (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2016
Interview
On-campus information session, followed by a first round interview on campus. Super day at RBC office in Toronto a few days later. First round was all technical, but relatively easy (walk me through a DCF, what is the effect of debt on a company's capital structure etc.), second round was mostly fit with a few challenging technical questions thrown in (not math-y though).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are five things you would want to perform due diligence on a company?
1 OA, 1 TI, 1 AC. Online assessment was simple enough, telephone interview was friendly (allowed me to change phone number since I provided the wrong one), and the AC was a fair judge of my behavioural and technical ability. Good feedback throughout, though it may of been different if I was rejected
Online Assessment, telephone Interview, Assessment center. Overall, a four week process. Friendly and conversational interviews with a few commercial knowledge questions. Assessment center had a presentation and interviews with managers.
Standard interview processs with a mix of behavioural and technicals. Was not hard and was more of a conversation than interview. Technicals were accounting and valuation and were very basic.
