Question 1
What is the best decision you made in the past 6 months
Details on your previous position (e.g. how long a project will take to financial close? Which sections you would cover in the credit application process?)
The interviewers asked me questions regarding company culture and which aspect appealed the most to me. I interviewed with 6 different people. I was asked to explain how my previous experience would be relevant to the position I applied to.

Very long interview process- seven total over span of two months. Interview with the talent acquisition, manager, entire team and the director. It is a little daunting but hopefully rewarding in the end.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at First Republic (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
There was an initial phone screen with a recruiter, then two separate interview blocks where I spoke to 4+ employees from across the department. It was a holistic approach that helped build a foundation with folks from sales to management which I then fostered once I was offered the position.
