In my case a manager and director. It was more of a meet and greet - half an hour each to gage interest in the company and department. - Tell me about teamwork - How have you handled conflict - what will you do if you get stuck on a project. It took HR time to process the application.

Private Markets. UWaterloo co-op interview which was just one cultural fit interview with questions such as "why do you want to work at Manulife"? One on one with HR recruiter as opposed to your direct manager.
