Candidates describing CIBC data analyst interviews mostly report behavioral and scenario-based conversations rather than heavy technical drilling. Several describe a short recruiter or HR screen followed by a conversation with managers or team members. One candidate received an offer after a single interview with a hiring manager and a senior analyst, covering past work, strengths, career goals, and a question on how to build a dashboard.
Behavioral answers appear to matter. One candidate says a weak answer about handling a difficult colleague hurt their chances. Another was asked how they handle pressure when completing a task, and one was asked why they left their last role. Prepare a few concrete stories and practice telling them aloud.
Technical depth varies by team. One candidate completed and presented a sample assignment that took a couple of hours. Another reports a final in-person round focused on Unix/Linux commands and Azure. A third was asked how to prioritize several tasks and how to check information across different sources. A dashboard walkthrough, from requirements to visualization choices, is a sensible thing to rehearse.
Outcomes were mixed: two candidates reported offers, while others did not receive one. Ask the recruiter early whether your loop includes an assignment or a technical round so you can prepare for the right tools.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report a brief phone or HR screen early on. One was asked why they left their last role, and another described it as a short call before moving to a virtual interview.
Reports include a coffee chat with the hiring manager followed by conversations with team members, a single interview with a hiring manager and senior analyst, and an in-person round with two team managers and a director. Topics include your resume, strengths, working environment, pressure handling, and career goals. One candidate says a difficult-colleague question decided their result.
Candidates report practical questions about prioritizing several tasks, checking information across sources, and what to do during an incident. One also describes a question on how they would build a dashboard. Be ready to walk through your workflow step by step, from gathering requirements to presenting results.
Not every candidate reports a technical element. One completed and presented a sample assignment that took a couple of hours. Another had a third, in-person round that was purely technical, covering Unix/Linux commands and Azure. Ask the recruiter what to expect so you can prepare for the right tools.
