Financial Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process

I applied online and received an email to set up an initial phone screening. It was frustrating because they contacted me for a different position than the one I applied for, and I was unqualified for it.

The first interview was a typical candidate screening, heavy on work experience and education from my resume, with some behavioral questions.

I made it to the next round, which was a technical phone interview. The interviewer was very nice and guided me through the questions, even explaining answers to those I did not know. As expected, I did not move on to further rounds as my background did not fit, and thus I could not answer all of the questions posed.

Questions

Very in-depth CS questions on topics such as binary trees, algorithms, try/catch blocks, OOP, etc.

If you come from a CS background (which I did not, despite having programming experience in my current position), these are your run-of-the-mill questions for a software development position.
