The interview process involved four rounds. It started with a video interview, followed by a Zoom interview, then an in-person interview, and finally a Zoom interview with a senior director. After these rounds, I was asked for some basic background information. It took several weeks to get a decision, which was disappointing. The people I met were all very pleasant, though.

I applied online, the deadline was Jan 31. I heard back a bit before then and gave them my availability for an interview. The scheduling process wasn't very organized. I then had an initial video interview with someone from KBRA, but I didn't get past that. The interview felt really short, like 5-10 minutes, so I'm not sure if they took me seriously.

I went through three rounds of interviews for the RMBS team, as they're looking for someone with tech and quantitative skills urgently. The first round involved tech questions covering Python, SQL, and Excel, though I skipped the VBA part. The subsequent two rounds were with senior directors and included financial questions or questions about my background, which seemed to vary depending on the interviewer.
