I applied online and was contacted by a very pleasant recruiter. During a couple of interviews, they asked me for more personal information. I was then invited to do a day of interviews on-site at the location of my choosing; I chose McLean because it was the closest.

They even offered to fly me to the location of my choosing and pay for my hotel, but I opted out of both of those options. I was also provided $50 a day for food and travel expenses.

The day of interviews was scheduled from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM, although the interviews didn't start until 1:00 PM. Before they began, we were taken on a tour of the building and had lunch with a few of the new employees in the TDP. It was a good way to relax and feel less pressure going into the interviews, and also a great opportunity to gather information about the company and the position.

The interviews consisted of three separate sessions:

• Behavioral: This interview was very straightforward. My interviewer asked me easy questions, and it essentially felt like a conversation between us. It was very laid back.
• Technical: This interview was also quite easy and stress-free compared to others. The interviewer was an employee currently in the TDP, so they were laid back and understood any nerves I might be facing. It was honestly quite fun to work through the problems with them there. There was good back-and-forth when any potential mistakes occurred. The question difficulty was no harder than LeetCode Easy.
• Case: This was the only interview that was a bit tricky. We were given a situation the bank might be in, and based on that situation, I had to provide insight into how I would handle and fix any issues that could occur. Essentially, I analyzed some weakly written code and came to a conclusion. It wasn't too difficult, but it was a bit more confusing than necessary.

Overall, I really enjoyed the interview process. I heard back the next day and was told I got the position. The communication and energy at the office seemed great.

Behavioral: What accomplishment gave you the most satisfaction?

Behavioral: Recall and describe a time you had to describe a technical concept to someone non-technical.
