Behavioral Technical Coding

So, there were two Hireview interviews, one was behavioral and the other was technical with pretty simple questions. Then a final round which was split into two parts, the first 15-20 minutes were behavioral questions, and the next 15-20 minutes were technical. The interviewers were good at keeping the conversation going, and most questions led to good discussions, though a couple were a bit confusing. There were some questions to check SQL and Python skills, but they weren't too difficult, and also a question about linear regression.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was pretty good overall; the interviewers and staff were nice. It began with a virtual video interview where I had to record myself answering questions. The questions were pretty basic, mostly common behavioral questions with one or two technical ones at the end. Then came the Super Day, which had two rounds: one behavioral and one technical. The technical round required more in-depth knowledge of my major and related skills. I found out the result about a week later.

Behavioral Technical

The job pays around 42-47k in Houston. About two weeks after applying, I had a phone screen with a recruiter. She then sent my resume to the managers, and an hour later, I got a call back because they were interested in interviewing me. The recruiter asked if I was available the next day, and I said yes. The first interview round was about 30 minutes via Teams with three women. They were polite but distant. They asked some questions. I followed up with the recruiter about the next steps, and she responded quickly, saying the managers were interested in a final interview, also through Teams, scheduled for the following week. In this final interview, one of the women from the first round was present (she's in my city), along with two other managers. This interview felt more casual and less structured than the first, lasting about 30 minutes. One manager didn't ask me any questions. After a week, I followed up again, and the recruiter said I was still being considered and apologized for the delay. Two more weeks passed without an update. I wish they had just told me if they chose someone else, but I guess they were waiting to send out rejections. I still haven't gotten one, but I know it's coming. I'm not sure what advice to give, but maybe providing examples proactively, even if not asked, would be good since they weren't very talkative. I think they probably wanted someone with a stronger finance background. I mistakenly thought the interviews moving quickly meant they were really interested in hiring me, but that was wrong.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online and then did a HireVue video interview where I had to record myself answering about 9 situational questions, with 2 attempts for each. It was a bit awkward since I'd never recorded myself before. After that, a recruiter called me for an in-person interview, which was basically answering the same questions from the video. Then I had to wait to see if I got the job. They seem to interview a lot of people, even if you have banking experience and did well. I'm still waiting for a callback. My recruiter was very nice and easy to talk to, so I'm hopeful.
