Cadence Financial Interview Questions
& Process

It was a mix of submitting an application, taking a simple personality/qualification test that was knowledge-based, and then having Zoom interviews. The first Zoom interview was with the manager, and then a second one was with potential colleagues. After the interviews, I received email feedback that confirmed I wouldn't be getting an offer.

My overall experience interviewing with this company was not good, to say the least. A LOT of red flags. Summary - Was told I was too early for the interview after arriving 10 minutes early. - Original interviewer could not make the interview, so it was completed by several other managers. They rotated in and out and I felt like I did the same interview 3 or 4 times because they each asked similar questions. - Manager/company did not seem prepared for the interview. Interview did not seem structured and was more of a conversation that bounced around a lot. - Senior manager came in 30 min into the interview to ask a few questions of his own to which I found to be irrelevant and odd. The senior left the room immediately after. - As the interview was ending the original person who was going to interview me walked in which kind of started the interview all over again. - The interviewer who originally interviewed me had to abruptly leave continuing the cycle of ppl just coming and going. - I was asked a few questions by the new interviewer for about `10 mins before it was over. - Company didn’t respond to my emails after the interview even after following up a week later. Finally received a denial email two weeks after that follow-up. Overall, I didn’t feel the company respected my time. They were simply not prepared, and I found it rude and unprofessional for ppl to just come in and out of the interview.

I applied online and heard back from a recruiter about 8 days later to confirm my interest and set up a phone interview. Two days after that, I had the interview with the recruiter where we discussed the role, pay, location, and the bank's culture. She mentioned she'd pass my info to the hiring manager and encouraged me to apply for the same job at a different branch. A week later, I was called to schedule a face-to-face with the hiring manager. That interview was straightforward, mostly behavioral questions, and I learned more about the bank. Two weeks after that, I had my final in-person interview, which was more casual and focused on whether I'd fit in with the team. Overall, it was a good experience, and everyone I met was really nice and professional.

I had an interesting interview experience. Usually, there are a few smaller interviews with different departments to find the best fit, but during lockdown, it was a zoom meeting with 5 interviewers at the same time. I liked the idea of multiple small interviews and hope they go back to that when interviews are in person, but the big interview was harder to manage. It seemed like they had trouble navigating the structure too.
