The interview process at Popular Bank had a phone call, a video interview, and then an in-person meeting with the branch managers. Each part was about an hour long and mostly behavioral questions, though honestly, a lot of them didn't feel like they were about the job itself. The whole thing felt like a mess. It took forever to hear back, and I had to chase them up a bunch. My emails weren't getting replies, so I had to call HR directly for updates. During the in-person chat, the managers even trashed a former employee, which was a big warning sign. Honestly, it wasn't a good experience at all. Even if they had offered me the job, I wouldn't have taken it. There are for sure better banks to work for.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The interview process was lengthy, spanning two months to finish all the tests, trainings, and interviews. I had to travel back and forth between islands for three weeks because there isn't a main branch where I live, which made the whole experience feel like too much hassle.
