I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SOLVE (New York, NY)
Interview
Great team of knowledgeable people. Interviews were conversational in nature, but intense. Really want people with experience in the fixed income trading realm and the company seems more entrepreneurial. The founders are impressive as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about my educational background and history, my interests, a lot of industry questions, all of the standard behavioral questions, and some analytical/brain teaser ones.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SOLVE in May 2020
Interview
Am very shocked that start-ups still operate with as low values and morals as Solve Advisors. Their recruiting and interview process was incredibly discourteous and beyond unprofessional. To begin with, their "human resources" hides behind an alias on LinkedIn.. that should have been the first RED FLAG. Secondly, they had set me up with two video interviews, all together three rounds.. I was cut short on my third interview with them and was told "thank you for preparing so well for this interview" and then he abruptly ended the interview. After that I never heard from them again. After a candidate prepares and carries through two video interviews, covid or not, you owe the candidate some sort of response. Regardless of their decision on me as a candidate, this isn't how you treat candidates. Total disrespect for my time. Insulting organization and clearly not going anywhere with this type of behavior. I would never consider working for an organization this rude.

I applied online. I interviewed at SOLVE (New York, NY) in Mar 2020
Interview
They reached out via LinkedIn. Had two interviews after speaking with their HR. After this point, they never followed up with an answer or any feedback. Pretty disappointing. After scheduling not one, but two Video interviews with them, and taking these fairly seriously, would have appreciated some common decency in return.
