I applied in-person. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Dec 2024
Interview
Initial and primary interview with Hiring Manager and technical team. As many of these technical interviews go, I was drilled by various technical team members around variable types, scope and development methodologies. Whats irritating is that I am not a textbook developer and I struggle with the terminology and development "patterns". But this is often only one component of a successful software developer and, as is in this case, greatly overemphasized. And these interviews get real uncomfortable, real fast, and it becomes obvious to me that I don't come from an academic background and I don't study the language in this way. Yet the interviewers persist. I suspect it is a cultural barrier where some groups fixate on terminology over everything else.
Whole interview process was Not very high pressure, ask technical and behavioral questions. Last 1 hour with 2 people. Vivid and with positive feedback. It was a very good experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Sep 2025
Interview
Smooth but very slow, ask about SDLC a lot. They are interested in SQL queries and past experience. I'm pretty sure they asked about projects I work on independently. Make sure you can speak to your resume's experience.
