The interview journey kicked off with a chat with HR to go over my background, see if I was interested in the job, and check my general fit. The recruiter was really professional, giving me a clear rundown of the job and the company. The whole thing felt organized and moved along well. Overall, it was a good experience, though it felt pretty competitive.

Behavioral Technical
The interview questions were pretty standard. No deep dives, just top-level stuff, but they seemed to expect really specific answers. I felt like I had to guess what they wanted to hear. Didn't have my psychic abilities switched on that day! I really didn't vibe with the conversation and decided to pull out of the running.

Technical Coding
The interview process included an HR call, followed by a technical HackerRank test, and then a technical interview. Everything was conducted online. The technical test was quite challenging, focused on creating solutions, and was very data-specific. The technical interview went reasonably well, though perhaps I was too candid with some responses, which were mentioned in the rejection feedback. It seems they are new to QA work, so it would require significant effort to establish a proper QA process, posing a risk to the entire QA function. A major issue is their unclear expectations, leading them to search for ideal candidates.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Standard pre-screen happens first, like telling them about yourself, salary expectations, etc. They'll try to figure out your absolute walk-away number before you even understand the role or talk to the hiring manager. The process is: 1. pre-screen, 2. an uncompensated but time-intensive trial assignment where you'll analyze numbers in Excel and write sector commentary, 3. talk to the hiring manager, 4. talk to other team/senior managers. I don't do assessments before talking to the hiring manager about the specifics of the position, especially since they already have my writing samples and there are tons of applicants. So I won't move forward with Green Street, and that's fine. Their pay is only about half of market rate and their editorial quality isn't great. It's basically a place to work while finishing your CFA.
