It was exciting to get an opportunity to interview with FINRA which itself is a rarity given the current market.
After getting through the first coding round, I was told there will be a technical round virtual and then a in person interview with 6 people. making a total of 2 more rounds.
They then decided to split it into 1 technical virtual screening and then after that they said it will be 2 more rounds virtually with 2 sets of 2 people. Which I went though anyways with excitement.
Then it came to the in-person interview (a little over an hour drive in traffic, which is normal for our area) finally for which honestly could have easily been another virtual interview and wouldn't have mattered.
After doing great in all of these interviews (5 separate interviews with 7 people) and getting good feedback for everything. They kept me waiting for the outcome for 2 days. and then say they are NOT going to move forward with me because of something that I already demonstrated I was good at.
This is definitely frustrating to hear a negetive response after seeing everything go so well especially in the current market when people are getting laid off and having a hard time getting a job.
But overall interview experience was good and I would rate it medium difficulty when you have over 10 years of experience in the field. But the choosiness is where the experience turned bad to me. Hence neutral rating.
