I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at First Republic in Jun 2015
Interview
Three people from the team interviewed me. The team is pretty new. First they asked me to walk through my resume. And then many technical questions were asked related to my project or the position, focused on logistic regression, cross validation, assumptions of linear regression, etc. They asked me to write some SQL code. And very specific questions to see how you deal with data.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at First Republic (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
I got the verbal offer but when I tried to negotiate the number, the team just withdrew the offer and provided no reason. Very rude and disrespectful to their candidates. The package number was low and the bank just tried to bully the employees. Now I got much higher package and I will never come back here.

Took two tests in R and SQL after which we scheduled a phone interview. Interviewer was extremely nice and asked about experience/ resume. Unfortunately, position fell apart due to COVID
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at First Republic (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process was fast. Their HR contacted me for completing some technical questions in word ( basic SQL and R). Then, I got two phone calls from their managers. the HR asked me to find a time "later this week" to make the call on !!!Wednesday!!!. So I don't have enough time to prepare. My first phone interview was fine. The manager was nice and he asked me some technical questions and some of my work experience. So I got an opportunity for another phone interview with their VP... where the nightmare begins... All his questions were technical questions, which I wasn't aware of... To be honest, he was a little rude during the interview. I didn't feel comfortable and confident. If you are going to interview for this position in the future. Be prepared. Also, I feel they only want someone who has PhD degree.
