Interview
After applying I was asked to do a financial modeling test which consisted of constructing a golf handicap calculator.

I was informed that my model was satisfactory and had a Skype interview because I was located in a different city than the position I was interviewing for.

The interview was standard. I was asked to walk the interviewers through my resume. I was asked a couple accompanying questions related to the job I had listed on my resume, specifically about the deals and what, exactly, I did at my position. I was then asked a few technical questions related to the financial statements and how they're inter-related. I was asked a single brain teaser question related to renting sporting equipment in Canada.
Interview Questions
1. I was asked a question about how interest rates in Canada affect the economy on a macroeconomic level, which I didn't expect given the industry the investment bank worked on deals in.

2. I was also asked a brain teaser question that related to how much a product is rented in Canada.

3. I was also asked the standard, walk me through a DCF and I was asked for examples of how the three statements (cash flow statement, balance sheet, and income statement) were inter-related.

4. I was finally asked to pitch a stock.
