It was a multi-stage interview process with gates. The interviewers were helpful and knew their stuff. Everything was done over Microsoft Teams. I got feedback really fast after each interview, and they told me what to expect next.

It started with an HR screening for about 20 mins. Then, I had a 30-minute interview with the Hiring Manager. The final stage was a 'Superday' which involved 5 separate 30-minute rounds with different managers from related departments like Accounting, Trading, Quant Risk, Treasury, and Compliance, plus the VP of Risk.

Behavioral Technical
The scheduling process for all three positions I interviewed for were easy and straightforward. There were two rounds of interviews for each. The people are very nice and kind. If you want to work a clear cut bureaucratic company with a 1980s frat boy work culture, this is the company for you. If you want to grow and be paid what your worth, go somewhere else. I took this as a sign that no employer in CENLA will pay to retain tech talent with salary. I love living in my hometown, but employers here pay low unless in healthcare as a doctor or nurse. You will make as much as a director at Cleco makes at a mid level remote role based out of state. I also wonder what more people can't work from home with these tech jobs.
