I applied online. I interviewed at Charles Schwab in Apr 2023
Interview
Initial Phone Screen: HR rep Deanna was pro - everything was super clear about the process, salary, and benefits. Questions about background. Why Schwab? What is a class? What is an object? What is an array? Four pillars of OOP. Behavioral - Tell me about a time you had to be a leader. Tell me about a time when requirements changed. Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult team member. Panel Interview: Tell us about yourself. Questions about past projects on my CV and different programming concepts. Questions about biggest challenges in my CS education. Technical questions about Polymorphism, Overloading/Overriding, Try-Catch and Exception Handling, experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Coding Challenge - wasn't a Leetcode problem I had ever seen before but was fairly easy, though the wording was a little confusing. Facilitator Kendrick was great, really thorough and supportive. The hiring manager and senior dev were really friendly and the entire experience was really positive. I knew immediately they'd be excellent to work with and learn from.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic technical questions about OOP and data structures. Behavioral questions (have some scenarios at the ready that you can adapt to STAR questions). Be prepared to discuss any projects you have listed on your CV and the tech/logic used in them. Coding portion was a variant on the sum of digits of a number.
5 rounds of tech and non-tech interviews with several team members. All very pleasant. Technical interview in the last round. Algorithms question was straightforward but I bombed. Nothing more to say, really.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab
Interview
First, there was a phone call with recruiter. This didn't seem to go anywhere until i was randomly contacted by a hiring manager for an entirely different role. Had a short phone screen and was passed on to a technical challenge.
Technical challenge: No online environment was set up and I was told I HAD to use C# and share my screen. There were issues with my webcam and I wanted to reschedule since about 20 minutes was wasted trying to get software to recognize webcam did exist and was connected to my computer (it worked on other software on computer). Would not reschedule and forced interview forward. NONE of the 3 interviewers put on their webcams which i found very unprofessional. Asked some Angular/C# questions and then picked a random algorithm.
Took 3 weeks to get back to say they passed on me.

Interview
I applied on the website, and HR reached out to me via email. I set up an interview over email, then had the interview with hiring manager, and never heard back from them until i got my rejection email in months later
