Behavioral Technical Case

I really like this company. The process was very straightforward, and they work with a lot of good investors for Non-QM loans. Their technology and website could be improved to better showcase originators, but their sales training is excellent.

It was a thorough interview process. I interviewed with multiple managers and they answered all my questions. I learned about the culture and the good and bad parts of the position. They were totally upfront and I knew what I was getting into.

The interview was casual and easygoing, but their follow-up was lacking. They didn't communicate as promised, even after I followed up. By the time they responded (three weeks late), I'd already accepted another offer. My advice is to keep candidates updated, even if you don't have a decision yet. It made me question if they treat their customers the same way. This actually made me feel more confident in my decision to go elsewhere, even though I was a good fit for Southwest Funding.
