One of the most disappointing interview experiences I've had in more than 40 years of interviewing. The process began well. The recruiter and second interviewer were professional, communicative, and respectful of my experience. I was then referred to the Market President for the final interview, where the experience changed completely. The interview felt disengaged, no next steps were discussed, and after I sent a thank-you email, I heard nothing for nearly three weeks. When I followed up with the recruiter to express my continued interest and ask for an update, I received a generic rejection email within seconds. Not getting the job wasn't the issue—poor communication and a lack of professionalism were. Based on BMO's reputation, I expected a much better candidate experience.
