Behavioral Other

The interview process with ProShares was a complete waste of time. I had two behavioral interviews and then two assessments: a Wonderlic and a personality test. These assessments alone took about 1.5 hours, not including any prep. After my second interview, I heard nothing from ProShares for 11 days. I tried reaching out via email and voicemail to Carla multiple times, but got no response about my candidacy. Then, weirdly, in the middle of the whole process, I got a link to submit feedback on my interview experience. I submitted a negative review, and only a few hours later, I got an automated rejection email. This was hands down one of the worst interview experiences I've had. I put in several hours of prep for both the interviews and the assessments, and the recruiting team only updated me after I gave them feedback on the candidate experience. Seriously, out of my 9 years of interviewing and hiring, ProShares gave me the worst candidate experience. My advice? Send those Wonderlic and personality tests later, maybe right before the final round. It’s a waste of everyone’s time if candidates don't even make it far. Also, candidates should get an update within 5 business days, even if you don’t have a final decision. We're juggling multiple opportunities, and an 11-day silence with no contact makes ProShares less appealing. And Carla needs more training. She was late to the interview, it only lasted 17 minutes from her side, she didn't seem prepared, and her questions were all yes/no and subjective.

Technical Behavioral

The HR admin assistant managed scheduling for the whole process. The first step was a phone call with the main HR interviewer. A week later, I had a second phone interview with the head of the department I applied to. After passing those, I came in for 5 one-on-one interviews at the office. It was well-organized; I stayed in the conference room and interviewers rotated in. I met many different people that day, all great in their own ways. A common thread was their apparent passion for their jobs and the company, which left a strong initial impression.

Behavioral Technical

I interviewed with ProShares and generally had a good experience. The process was professional and well-organized, with discussions that let me show off my skills and background. The interviewers asked smart, insightful questions, showing they wanted a good fit. I felt like I did well and explained my qualifications clearly, but unfortunately, I didn't get the job. It's a bummer not to get the offer, but I still valued the opportunity to learn more about ProShares.

Behavioral Technical Other

Had a phone screen and was scheduled for an interview. Before the interview, I had to complete an online personality test. Upon arrival, I was placed in a room to take the Wonderlic aptitude test. Then, I was taken to a conference room and waited for about 30 minutes. The interview itself was brief and felt perfunctory, with the interviewer seeming to look at my resume for the first time and mentioning how busy they were. I never heard back from them after that.
