First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at SS&C Technologies.
Financial Services Operations Representative
The hiring process felt really disorganized from the get-go. I got an email asking me to answer some questions and check my internet speed, but there wasn't much info about why or what it was for. Then, during the interview, the person I spoke with seemed totally unprepared and didn't know the process. She even asked me what she was supposed to ask me, which was super unprofessional. It really came across like the company isn't well-coordinated or professional.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Financial Engineer
Recruiter set up the next interview with the hiring manager during the phone screen, but didn't send back responses to the hiring manager. This felt like a sign that the hiring manager already picked an internal candidate who knew the in-house platform and they just needed to go through the motions with external candidates. Because of this, the hiring manager didn't seem to care. The interview was super easy, and one interviewer had low energy, just going through the motions, so it finished 20 minutes early. It's a common thing, but it just wastes time. They asked basic questions and didn't really dig into my background or the financial engineering skills needed.
- Can you define some risk measures?
Manager
The interview process started with a recruiter call, then a phone screen, followed by a technical screen where I was asked about fund accounting concepts, including how it differs from regular accounting, the specifics of restricted and endowment funds, and the main financial statements. They also asked about ensuring regulatory compliance in fund accounting.
- Can you describe your methods for ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements within fund accounting?
- In fund accounting, how do you maintain compliance with all applicable regulations?
Financial Operations Analyst
First, there was an HR screening. Then, I had an interview with some team members I'd be working with, which went well. The last interview was with the director, who just wanted to confirm my comfort with the role and responsibilities. The offered salary was quite low for the position. I spoke with HR about potentially negotiating, and they mentioned looking into a different role. However, they ended up rescinding the offer, citing a reason that should have been caught during the initial HR screening.
- Can you tell me about your experience in the financial industry?
