I applied online. I interviewed at Purpose Financial (Greenville, SC)
Interview
The interview was straight forward but in a bad way. The interviewers only said their name and job title. No additional information was provided about the company or about themselves. They jumped right into their interview no smiles or anything and didn’t seem too interested in me as a candidate as the call only lasted ~10 minutes. I’ve had a lot of interviews before and this one was pretty lack luster and lands in the top 3 worst.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself, why did I leave my last company, what’s the difference between a SOC 2 Type I and II audit?
I applied online. I interviewed at Purpose Financial in Dec 2025
Interview
The interviewer asked more questions about my previous company than questions about my role and why I was interested in working for Purpose Financial. It felt as if they were making assumptions as to why I would want to work for Purpose, rather than letting me explain my interests. This, I believe, signaled a perceived misalignment and is what I believe prevented me from making it to the next round. I then received an automated rejection email, which I believe is disrespectful once a person has made it to the interview stage. When I then messaged the hiring manager for feedback, I was not given a response. So in general, this was just a negative interview process.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Purpose Financial in Apr 2025
Interview
Had an initial phone screen with a member of HR, then an interview with the hiring manager. If I had been asked to continue the process, there would have been several more steps including two separate interviews with upper management, plus a project/assignment.
