My interview with Edelman Financial Engines was a really good one. It had three parts: first, I spoke with a recruiter, then I had interviews with the hiring manager and a financial planner. Everything was set up well, super professional, and they kept me in the loop. The recruiter was quick to respond and let me know what to expect. The hiring manager and planner made me feel comfortable while still asking good, relevant questions. It felt like a thorough but quick process, and I liked how open they were about everything. It gave me a good feel for the company vibe and what the job involves.

Behavioral Technical
My interview experience with this company was disappointing and frustrating. The whole thing took over two months, and I had to follow up multiple times just to get an update. Communication was inconsistent and lacked transparency, making the process unnecessarily stressful. I met with five different people. I was very clear from the beginning about my salary expectations to avoid wasting anyone's time. Despite that and the job description, I was eventually given an offer significantly below my stated expectations and the advertised range. After investing a lot of time and effort, preparing for interviews, attending multiple meetings, and following up repeatedly, the lowball offer felt disrespectful and disingenuous. This experience left a bad impression, so I'd caution others to clarify expectations early and tread carefully.

I had a phone chat with the recruiter first, then another call with a manager. After that, I went in for an in-person interview at their office. Then came the background check and I figure reference checks too.
