BMO Capital Markets: Bewerbungsprozess und Vorstellungsgespräch

30 min behavioural questions (tell me about yourself, why BMO, strengths/ weaknesses), 30 min technical questions (calculation questions, technicals the guides like DCF/ WACC/ valuation methods, industry knowledge, stock pitch)

Two back to back thirty minute interviews. The first one was all behavioural and the second interview was all technical. Very very heavy behavioural and the questions asked were unique.

Very straightforward half behavioral, half technical interview. Be prepared to speak on your experiences well. Technicals were straightforward at first but anything you say you should be ready to talk about.

Relatively straightforward, know valuation methodologies, M&A conceptually, and accounting. Interviewers were incredibly helpful and nice, providing thorough insight about the process entailed, brief insight on what interns are expected to do on a number of product to coverage functions, and how to stand out as an intern across all levels.

Intro phone call with M D. Asks general questions about discount rates. What is a good return to you? What are your risk preferences. What happens if discount rates go down…

I did short online screening interview for 30 minutes, however the questions were a little bit different than the job description. Overall the questions were fair and the platform is easy to use.

applied after an info session and HR called me that i got selected for interview. 2 rounds of interviews (about an hour for each), both behaviour and technical questions are included in each round

Approached through an internal reference. The process was going well until I mentioned I was on F1 Opt visa and might need sponsorship later. I was ghosted First 45 min interview with MD HR and then with analyst of the sector

For on-cycle graduates, there are two rounds. First round is ~40min with a mix of behavioural and technical questions. Second round has two back-to-back sessions. Each session is ~30min. One of them is dedicated to behavioral and the other is dedicated to technical. Off-cycle hiring process is more team specific. It generally has 2-3 rounds.

I only made it to first round but found it very technical heavy. Interview process is intense, as is every banking interview. Definitely come prepared for accounting and market concept questions.
