My friend who works at Wealthfront put in a referral for me, and I was contacted by a recruiter that week. The interview process consisted of:

• A phone call with the recruiter
• A technical phone screen
• An on-site interview consisting of three separate one-hour interviews
• A one-on-one interview with the VP of engineering

The hiring team was very helpful in the process, allowing me a little extra time to brush up on my Java skills (as I had been working exclusively in C++ and Python for three years prior) before coming in for the on-site interviews. The interviewers were also very helpful, allowing me to work through the problems given but also providing assistance to get me unstuck as necessary.

Overall, the interview process was very streamlined. Of the handful of companies I interviewed with, Wealthfront required the least amount of total time on my part, but I still felt they were able to get a good feel of my skills in all the relevant areas.

The phone screen with the recruiter involved a few questions testing my Java knowledge. The technical phone screen asked two fairly standard algorithm questions. The on-site interview consisted of a pair-programming exercise, a code analysis exercise, and a cultural interview.
