Interview
Interview process started off pretty well. Conducted the phone interview with recruiter. After the phone interview i was asked to come in for an in person interview the next week.
The in-person interview was straight forward, 5 back to back interviews either a half hour or 45 minutes. I met with two different teams, each looking for an Intermediate Financial Analyst was told I was on the earlier end of interviews they were conducting and to expect to hear back in a week.
It took ~2 months to hear a response. I would follow up via email and it would take 2-3 emails each time to hear from my recruiter. Each time with another excuse about why she hadnt heard anything back from the team yet. I actually never got a definitive response, i just never heard back from my recruiter and gave up on it.
For a company that prides themselves in amazing customer service, you think they would approach potential employees with some of the same mentality. But I really feel i fell through the cracks and worry that if they teach potential employees this poorly, they probably treat their employees even worse. But that is just speculation.
