I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at RBC (New York, NY) in Nov 2015
Interview
I had a phone interview, met an alumnus of my school for an informational interview, and went to an in-person interview. The in-person day included several interviews with people from different groups. The interviewers were straighforward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself, why did you choose your major, why are you interested in banking? Why would a company be acquired?
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
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.
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.
