I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Silicon Valley Bank
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me in the middle of summer to ask if I would be interested in interviewing with the team. Took him about a whole month to set up the calls. I interviewed with 4 different people, they were all very nice. I was told that they would get back to me in two weeks max. This was in September. I still haven't heard back despite making multiple attempts to reach out to the recruiter. So unprofessional to be completely ghosted after meeting the team for over two hours.
4-5 interviews, started with directors, moved on to associates, and ended with senior management. All chats were informative and a place to ask questions while getting a feel for the team.
