Behavioral Other

Applied online, did an initial HireVue screen. Scheduled and then rescheduled interviews several times. My interviewer was the most unprofessional interviewer I have ever dealt with. They had not looked at my resume, asked very generic questions, looked like they did not want to be there from the start of the interview, and showed up in a white t‑shirt with red letters. Having hired and interviewed with many top tier firms, the bare minimum should have been a polo shirt. The interviewer is a reflection of the firm.

Behavioral Technical

Had five technical interviews, including in-person, felt more focused on collecting ideas from other firms than really assessing job fit. Unexpectedly, extra interviewers joined without any clear structure, which made the whole thing feel disjointed and exhausting. On top of that, they reposted the job on their website even before the final interview was done.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • how would you describe your leadership style? what is your main weakness?
