I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Branch (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2026
Interview
6 stage process. Did not move forward after the technical assessment. My interview experience with Branch was frustrating from start to finish. Communication was inconsistent, I thought I was being ghosted during multiple steps. I did not feel like my time was respected, and several parts of the experience came across as unprepared and disorganized. Based on this process alone, I was left with a negative impression of Branch and its professionalism.
My recruiter screening was abruptly cancelled day of (I think the recruiter was let go) so hiring manager rescheduled initial screening. He was warm and painted Branch as a very mission driven, collaborative organization. The second round was a case assignment. After spending a considerable time working on it, I was sent an email 2 days after submission that I was rejected. Asked for feedback and didn't get a response which was bad practice since I prepared to present it to the Marketing team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Branch (Lagos) in Jul 2024
Interview
The interview at 5 stages I think.
I was told the second stage would be a technical question and answer phase, with a no code algorithm question.
We took alot of time on the technical question and answer phase, which I answered 90% correctly, then 10 mins to the end of the interview, I was told I would be given a leetcode algorithm question to solve with code. I was dissapointed
