      Senior Staff Engineer Interview

      5 Nov 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Denver, CO
      Declined offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Denver, CO) in Sept 2013

      Interview

      I was contacted by the managing director who did an initial phone interview to gauge the breadth of my skills. The next morning I was contacted by the company recruiter to go over a bit more detail about the position. She then setup a technical phone interview with the managing director, lead software architect and a technical director. The following day the director flew up to Denver for an onsite interview with the managing director of the project management group. I received an offer two days later. It took about 2 weeks from the time I applied to getting the initial contact for the managing director. I had 3 interviews over a six day period, with an offer within 10 days of the initial contact.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is a parallel query, when would you use it and under what conditions would it not be a good choice?

      Senior Staff Engineer Interview

      24 Mar 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Westlake, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Westlake, TX)

      Interview

      1. A technical recruiter discusses the position with you. 2. They ll set up a HireVue online assessment which you can take over the weekend or whenever you are free. It consists of a coding question, 90min. Easy to solve. Tell me about yourself kind of question, where you have to record yourself taking to nobody. 3. A technical round after a week. Easy. 4. If you get through, after a week there will be another set of interview. Three rounds on the same day with three different people. 2 technical and 1 behavioral. Onsite or Zoom depending on where you are located. If you are onsite, there will be meet and greet with their employees. Else, no. The technical recruiter and the person who sets up the interview are different. Looks like there was a mis-communication. I was interviewed for one location, the interview was taken by some team in another location. The recruiter called me and said the interview went fine. A month went past, due to the mess up, my application went to the hiring manager, who never came back.

      Interview questions [1]

      Situation based questions. Tell me about one experience where you failed, how did you over come it.
