I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Concora Credit (Portland, OR) in Mar 2025
Interview
(1) Screening with a recruiter (go over resume, basic questions about availability, salary, going over the recruitment process)
(2) Online assessments (speed and accuracy)
(3) 1st Technical Assessment (1 hr long) - 1/2 general questions, asking about college coursework, then second half case study: "Estimate the number of AMEX cards in the United States"
[4] 2nd Technical Assessment [2 hrs long] - same as above, but two back to back. Go over resume, projects, etc and then 30 mins of case study for each. Asked case study questions after being shown a slideshow/Excel sheet, one about optimizing profits of a ferry business and the other about marketing costs.
My biggest gripe with the interview process is that I was initially told by the recruiter "not to stress about the case study too much, you only have to do well enough on one of them for someone to take a chance on you" and "it's just an opportunity to assess your soft skills and see how you think." I was then told after the interview process that everyone found me a great culture fit but I did not complete the case studies well enough... and they were all basic math/Excel work. Did not feel as though it was an accurate assessment of my abilities.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Concora Credit in May 2024
