Very professional, detailed oriented and simple breakdown of the position. I enjoyed speaking with the hiring manager as well as a manager from the staff I would have been working with.
I met with a recruiter for a phone screen. It was fairly standard. I did not hear from them for 3 weeks. I actually threw the notes out, but they asked for a second round and I was able to retreive the notes. The second screen got off to a little bit of a rocky start.
Teams can be an issue because you are not allowed to login without a work account, but it does let you in without one sometimes... In this particular case I kept getting knocked out of the Teams app so I logged via browser. I could see and hear fine, although her volume was fairly low, The interviewer sad there was a glitch with seeing me, but she could hear me. I was probably done at this point, but I then proceeded to have a near perfect interview, answering questions in great detail and with an affirmative response every time.
The job was explained as being for a larger team with more specialists, whereas I have worked on smaller teams as more of a jack-of-all-trades. I did not think that was an issue, but that could have been the disconnect. The interview went a little over time and ended sort of abruptly. I got a rejection a couple of days later and was asked for feedback, but my response was ignored. I did like both interviewers and the company is competent, but it would help to have more transparency into the process. Companies are dragging out interviews for weeks in this market, and it is hard to keep all these interviews straight
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Envestnet
Interview
The Envestnet interview was moderate and technical in nature, with a strong emphasis on problem-solving skills and core programming fundamentals. Candidates were expected to build logic without relying on inbuilt functions and clearly explain their approach, thought process, and solution steps during the discussion.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview questions focused on array manipulation, string processing, and basic algorithms such as sorting and rotation without using inbuilt functions. Additional questions covered Python fundamentals, OOPS concepts, time and space complexity analysis, and logical problem-solving, with interviewers asking candidates to explain their reasoning step by step.
