Technical Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was a mix of technical and behavioral questions. The first round was a recorded HireVue interview. The next round was a 3-hour Super-day where I met with about 9 different managers. The questions covered macro-economic topics and behavioral anecdotes. They want to assess your basic market understanding and your thought process. I suggest showing you're analytical and genuinely interested in the company and the economy.

This company was not very personable. I never got a phone call or ever met anyone who worked for this company. They also did not respond to application and video submissions in a timely manner. For example, they said they would get back in around 3 weeks and it took them at least 5. From the start of my application till the rejection post interview was 4 months. I'm very glad I already accepted another offer when I received the rejection email.

- Can you describe a challenge you encountered and your approach to resolving it?
