Managing Principal

We are in the process of consolidating accounts for a new client and moving them over to Charles Schwab where we custody - all straight forward stuff. The client has an old 401k from a previous employer and filled out the paperwork with that 401k to roll it to Schwab. So about $470k hit her Schwab account last week. And then exactly 7 days later, another $460k hits again. Both from the 401k custodian. But her account was only $470k. I think they messed up royally. Now what???

I interviewed at Charles Schwab

Interview

I participated in an online interview process conducted over Zoom. However, I must express my dissatisfaction with the overall experience, primarily because the interviewer chose not to open her camera throughout the session. The absence of the interviewer's video feed made it incredibly challenging for me to establish a personal connection or gauge her reactions to my answers.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Gilbert, AZ)

Interview

The first interview was over the phone with a recruiter. It was about 20 minutes and I was asked a couple behavioral questions. The second interview was at the location with one manager. That one lasted about 45 minutes and I received a tour of the facility. We sat down and talked for about 25 minutes about my previous experience and he asked a couple other behavioral type questions. The next day I was offered the job then started the background check, fingerprinting, and drug screen process.

Interview Questions
  • Explain a time when you dealt with a client that was upset.
  • Tell me about a time you made a mistake. What did you do and how did you remedy the situation?
  • Tell me about a time you received constructive criticism. How did you react?

I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Phoenix, AZ)

Interview

It was from talent acquisition, then 2 hiring managers and I did not make it to the third round. Overall the first one with talent acquisition is not hard - she/he is the one who see if you are a good fit for the role the company recruited and then if you are a good fit (be yourself) the two hiring managers are difficult.

Hi All, This is my first post and hope to get your expert answers 🙂 What interview questions they ask in a Business Analyst interview at Manulife Canada?

U.S. Bank

Please post companies who have ghosted you after interviews or behaved unprofessionally in any way during the hiring process. Feel free to DM me if you prefer. I recently received a rejection email DURING the videoconference interview that I was on, and I think it’s time to name and shame the companies to help other applicants. If someone had told me about this company before 5 rounds of interviews, I could have saved myself a lot of time and energy.
