Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Straight forward. Started with a basic HR meeting to discuss my previous position and why I am on the market for a new job. Went into so minor details about my previous responsibilities. I think they just check to make sure you're a good cultural fit and weed out those who might have a lot of fluff in their resume. I just recommend to know what you have on it and smile a lot ( have a quality conversation and ask about the job ). Then it was a technical interview with two senior engineers. They asked technical questions ( I.E. what is dependency injection, Unit testing, SQL window functions, offset, Restful API, etc) they look for partial credit on this too. Avoid beating around the bush if you don't know the answer just say you don't. They aren't looking for a story but technical descriptions. Last was a meeting with a asset manager. I wasnt sure what he was probing for but i was asked questions like "who were the two individuals that interviewed the other day" "which of them do you think was a better interviewer" "what is a quality about you that sets you apart" "describe what you task item flow was at your previous position" then it kind of went into a conversation about what they want in need and whether id be a good fit for that.
