Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was there a project you worked on where you initially weren’t excited about?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FHLBank Chicago (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2022
Interview
Multiple interviews. Some with managers and some with other members of the Rotational Program. Extremely friendly. Each interviewers has their own style so it's hard to prepare. You really just have to know yourself and be able to articulate your goals and experiences. Important to have some background info on the bank.

Question 1
Describe a time you found yourself in a leadership role.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FHLBank Chicago in Oct 2021
Interview
All behavioral. Your standard “Tell me about a time when” type of questions. They really stress cultural fit over anything else so do your research and know the core values. Pretty long processes. It’s a scantly recognized company that will make exiting out of the impending dead end nearly impossible unless you want to be in credit your entire life so I’d save yourself the effort and look elsewhere. Compensation below market, according to reviews they shove DEI down your throat, the rejection was a blessing in disguise. Have since accepted offer at big 4.
