It was a pretty intense interview process with 3 total rounds, all done over Zoom. One part involved answering questions and recording myself, and then I had a separate interview with one employee and another with two executives. There were about 10 questions in total I had to answer.

Behavioral Presentation

Had to do Hirevue online questions first, then went in person to the main corporate building for an interview with multiple SVPs of credit all at the same time. The process was fast and efficient, but meeting three executives at once for an entry-level position was pretty intimidating and seemed unnecessary.

First, there was a HireView that asked about how I've used tech like programming and data viz to tackle financial issues. Then, I had a zoom chat with two managers from the team, it was super chill and friendly, basically just to get to know me, see what I know about the company, and figure out how my skills fit the role.

Had an amazing experience with a great team at OceanFirst. They clearly explained all the tasks involved and how they support employees in their professional development and in securing new, better opportunities within the company. The whole staff was very welcoming, treating both interviewees and new hires like family. I highly recommend applying to this great company.
