received a referral from a former coworker. Initially the process was very straightforward and included a phone screening and two person interviews - the first with hr and the second with the team, including group head, director and two vice presidents. HR was slow to respond regarding follow up. i did not receive an answer for 3 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Lots of cliche personality and fit questions (e.g. tell me about a time you struggled)
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at TD (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2011
Interview
Total of three rounds of interviews over two days. Day one included one on one with senior analysts and second with just HR. Both were more personality based asking numerous scenario questions. Minimal technical question, although you should know what's going on in the news in detail. Day two included a mix and mingle event (you should go to these if offered by TD) and another round on interviews. Likewise more personal fit. Even within TD securities its difficult to be tested technically for skills so just relate real experience to on the job.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TD (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2012
Interview
I was called in for group panel interview. Asked alot of behavioural questions. Interview lasted about an hour. I was called 2 days later for a skills test.
