Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Descrobe your professional background and experiences
Weirdly disorganised process. Massive gaps between interviews and forgetful recruitment team. Never briefed on the purpose of each stage so was like walking in blind. Can't imagine how it'd be to work there based on that.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dimensional Fund Advisors (Austin, TX) in Apr 2023
Interview
3 rounds, First is phone screen, second is virtual, 3rd is super day. The third round I was flown to Austin hq for a 6 round super day and lunch with hiring manager. All 3 rounds took place over 1 month.
