Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Scotiabank to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Scotiabank
Be Open-Minded, Curious and be ready to work. Scotia's subsidiary in Ireland is very fast paced, things get put on you at a moment's notice and you have to be ready to solve it. Scotia is a place that encourages learning, so I say be always ready to hear different perspectives and opinions.
