The initial phone screen was very rushed. I didn't get to ask any questions, and the interviewer was very rude. She spoke quickly, rushed through information, and didn't take any time to learn about me or my experience. She showed no empathy or courtesy, which was very unprofessional.

So, I had two interviews, and they were both pretty straightforward. After that, I was told I was moving on to the final stage, which was meeting the team. But then, they called back and changed their minds. They didn't really explain why. I'm not quite sure what happened behind the scenes.

The initial interview was a video call via Microsoft Teams with HR. She was very polite and said she'd forward notes to the hiring manager the same day, which she did. I got an update for a second round interview, and they mentioned the team was eager to meet me. The second interview was scheduled for the next day. However, the second interview was the complete opposite of the first one. The hiring manager and a senior associate spent the time complaining about their difficult transition from TD Ameritrade to Schwab, which is their primary custodian. They were so upset talking about it that I think they forgot why they were meeting me. It made me wonder if there are bigger company culture issues in some departments.

The interview process was surprisingly relaxed and felt more like a casual chat than a strict interview, which helped me feel more confident and less anxious. I could really express myself. The interviewer was really welcoming and cheerful, which made it a great experience overall.
