I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Northern Trust (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Best I’ve had! great people! They were very kind and warm. It was a panel interview and they were respectful. They were inquisitive as well I have never encountered such great people in my career. It felt right and they felt like family immediately
Very fast process. They made it a priority to move me through the different interview stages. Typical interview process flow; recruiter, virtual with manager, virtual with team, in-person with multiple people.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Northern Trust (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2025
Interview
Fairly straightforward process. The recruiter was very transparent in terms of timelines. 2 VC rounds and 1 panel interview in person. All interviews were great. The interviewers were respectful and asked really good questions.
It was only half hour long so fingers crossed if i will be really considered - it’s the role I m keen so I could not tell if it’s going to turn well - not heard back yet
