OppFi Interview Questions
& Process

The people who interviewed me were nice and knew their stuff. They started by asking me general 'what is it and what's it for' questions. They also asked me general technical stuff about coding and monitoring. I think they wanted detailed answers.

Applied online and got a call for a phone screen soon after. The phone screen was pretty standard and conversational. They said they'd get back to me for next steps, and I sent a thank you note. The next day, they reached out to schedule the next round. I gave my availability and waited a few days with no response. I followed up again, and still nothing. I followed up one last time, and after two weeks, it was clear I'd been ghosted. I figured the role was closed, but later saw on LinkedIn it had been filled. It was upsetting and unprofessional to be misled and ghosted like that.

I went through 4 rounds ending with the hiring manager. I really enjoyed the time with the team members I spoke with. I made it to the 4th and final round which was with the hiring manager. That round was going well too until the last question I was asked which was my salary requirements. I replied with my current salary and bonus and quickly she replied I’m not in the range for the role. A role I just spent 4+hours/4 rounds interviewing for. I was very honest and transparent from day 1 with the interview coordinator and told her what my current salary and bonus is and what would be required to make a move. So I spent 4 hours/4 rounds interviewing for a role where my salary requirements never were in their range for this role. I was told it really just depends on exactly what the hiring manager is looking for. I was more than qualified for the role I was interviewing for (as stated by other members I interviewed with) so this final statement from the internal recruiter was confusing. My suggestion is simply don’t do this to people. Know what your range is for the role and don’t accept applicants that are outside the range(s) you’re willing to pay for unless they agree to take the pay cut. As a double digit year U.S. Veteran it’s disheartening knowing this practice happens here. Good luck if you decide to interview here, I surely hope your experience is better than this.

The interview process included a phone interview, followed by a coding challenge where I signed an NDA. Then there was a video interview and a final 4-hour session. This session covered project management topics, Google Spreadsheets, a resume review, and a meeting with the CTO. Everyone I met was fantastic! Alexis was a pleasure to work with, and the Director I would report to was amazing and very supportive. The 4-hour multi-session interview was comprehensive, including role-playing questions, hands-on problem-solving, and a resume review. Overall, everyone at OppLoans is welcoming, and I'm grateful for the experience. I wish the OppLoans team continued success!
