Behavioral Technical Presentation Case

The entire interview process took a little over three weeks. First, there was a recruiter screening. Then, I had an interview with the hiring manager. After that, there was an optional peer interview. Next, I interviewed with the VP. Following that, I had a presentation and a mock call. Finally, I had a call with the President.

Behavioral Technical

Had a few phone screens, then they brought me onsite to a banking building that was kind of messy. The team interviewing me looked pretty unkempt. They knew I didn't have experience with what they sell, but they still interviewed me. They ended up rejecting me because I wasn't familiar with their specific technology. Honestly, I was relieved not to get the offer after that experience; I probably would have declined it anyway.

First, there was a recruiter screening. Then, I had a 1-hour chat with the hiring manager. After that, I spoke with the VP for an hour. The next step involved a 1-hour panel where I presented a deck I prepared. Lastly, I had a 30-minute meeting with the CRO.
