Pretty straightforward process - one phone screen with a recruiter, and second interview with two interviewers from the digital services team before receiving a final offer. Interview questions were mostly behavioral focused.
- Why Schwab, favorite classes, asked to walk through two previous projects I've worked on.

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.
- A series of statistical questions

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

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.
- describe a time when you face an obstacle how would you solve it
