I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JVM Lending (Walnut Creek, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
First, there is a quick phone interview. Next, there is an in person interview. You start off taking an hour long test (the test is mostly meant to test your time management skills). There are some riddles and grammar questions, too. If you don't finish the test... you're probably not going to get a 2nd in-person interview. Then a few employees come out and they perform the interview. The 2nd in-person involves a few more employees that sit with you and complete the interview.
It is a lengthier process than I was used to (DISC assessment, test, couple in-persons) but it is 100% worth it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard interview questions and also some random ones... What achievements are you most proud of? What's better.. summer or winter?
pretty rigorous. there is 4-5 different steps to the process. It is dragged with multiple phone and in-person interviews along with assessments. Comes off as they have trust issues. Also, recruiter makes you feel like you secured the job talking about getting your apartment ready for when you train in CA. They are so concerned with making sure you're willing to relocate even when you tell them yes 100 times. The people were nice, but the process drags. When I did the in person interview, it felt like I was already tossed in the rejection pile before the real interviews started. Got barely any non-verbal feedback as they just stare at you blankly which of course makes you more nervous. Felt like I was a burden in their daily schedule.
Disc test and turn in transcripts
1hr written test( cannot study for it)
Behavior questions, grammar questions, some interesting questions .
Maybe follow up with phone interview, but i did not pass it
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at JVM Lending in Aug 2020
Interview
It's pretty disappointing to be rejected with the automated "we decided not to proceed with your application" email after sending resume, cover letter, school transcripts, completing 1h IQ test and having 3, let me emphasize it 3 different interviews with 2 panels of interviewers. The whole process took about 1.5 month and a lot of preparation. While I enjoyed meeting people at JVM it would be helpful if the company provided clearer reasons on why candidates are being dropped off, especially for the ones getting to the 4th round.

Question 1
What do you want to do in a future, professionally?
