Multiple rounds of interviews mostly behavioural. They had a process where you are first talking to HR then to hiring manager then you do a super day of sorts where you speak to multiple PMs and managers

Question 1
Why dimensional? How are we different than others?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dimensional Fund Advisors (Charlotte, NC)
Interview
3 step interview ending in a super day consisting of 6 back to back interviews. First was a phone screen with HR, second was virtual with the hiring manager, and third consisted of in person interviews with people on the team.
A tradtional style with questions and answers. Probably a stronger emphasis on fit and phylosophy then the competitors. Also checks on one's ability to pay great attention to details and to deal with large data sets.
