Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Got a call from HR asking some general questions about my background and interest in the role. Then I had another call with a member of the Risk Team asking me about my background with various programming languages and projects. They also explained what the role would be like. Then I had a super day with 6 interviews. First with HR. It was half a rundown of how the day will go and personality type interview. Second was with the head of the group I applied to. Third was with a senior programmer. These three were all general with few technical questions. They asked for some details about my projects, so I explained them. Then I had lunch with the team. The analysts asked me a brain teaser at lunch. Fourth, fifth, and sixth were with different analysts. These questions were largely technical relating to probability and general problem solving. Then I had a programming test in Excel and Python. The Excel test was basically a VLOOKUP problem, some basic formulas, and to see if I knew the fundamentals of references. The Python once was a bit more technical.
