The interview process was very fair and thorough, with questions designed to deeply understand your process, philosophy, style tilts, and how you approach company names. It was a great experience even though I didn't get an offer; the people were good.

Behavioral Technical
Someone from HR reached out on LinkedIn and then I had an interview with a recruiter. The initial phone screen went really well, and she said she'd get back to me within the week. I brought up my work authorization at the end, and she mentioned they require full work authorization and don't sponsor. However, she thought I'd be a good fit and would recommend me to the hiring manager. I was contacted by the hiring manager who had missed the note about my work authorization. The second round went well, but that was as far as it went.

Behavioral Technical
Applied for the role in Boston during my last year of college. The recruiter and IT folks were really helpful, friendly, and accommodating (glad I didn't have to go back to Boston for interviews). I had three interviews: a quick 15-min phone chat with HR, then a 1-hour video call with HR and two program managers, followed by a 30-min video chat with an executive. Most questions were about my background and personality/behavioral stuff, nothing technical. The second interview felt the most challenging because one person seemed a bit checked out and the questions were a bit out there. It was a pretty quick and professional process, though I decided not to take the job in the end.

The whole interview process took about 3 weeks. I applied online and heard back from a recruiter within a week. After that, I had an in-person interview with three people, including the team manager. Then, there was a more intense interview with two employees who have been with Eaton Vance for over 20 years. It felt like a good cop, bad cop situation where one interviewer was really rude and didn't seem engaged, while the other was friendly and wanted to know a lot about me. I got an email with their decision about a week later.
