Ramsey Solutions Interview Questions

I had an introduction interview with a Ramsey Recruiter. They asked basic questions about qualifications but also what if anything I knew about Ramsey and their beliefs/ideologies. After that interview, I had to complete a design challenge that I poured a lot of time and effort into despite lacking any real direction from the product brief. I had to create five different assets with a variety of details. I spent over 20 hours on this and was only given five days to complete it. I didn't mind doing the challenge because I love this company and wanted to land the gig. A week after submitting the recruiter raved about my project and what they liked, but that they decided to move forward with other candidates. When I asked what was not to the team’s liking she said, something like, "They wanted to see a bit more work from your portfolio and would have loved to see you push your idea on the challenge 10 - 15% more.” This is frustrating because those answers are so arbitrary and don’t tell me anything that I could be better in the future. The design challenge was drafted in such a way that it was left very open-ended as to how to execute it. I believe this is the main problem with design challenges, if you use the same challenge for everyone (which they do because I found a plethora of past submissions on dribbble, behnace, etc) eventually reviewers are going to become biased with what they feel is the right solution to the challenge leaving everyone else at a disadvantage in the future. She did tell me that if another position opened up and I applied, I wouldn’t have to do the design challenge again… So what was the point in the first place? Overall, I’m just really bummed because I love Ramsey and their mission, and would have loved to be on the team. What is even more disheartening is that had I made it further there probably be another 4-5 more interview steps to go through after these first two.

Initial interview happened the day after I applied, which was the very same day as the job posting. Was told by the young woman that this would be a long and in depth process that was necessary to vet candidates properly :). Interviewed very well, questions were all postured around previous experience etc until we got to some questions that I have never been asked before but I already knew about from research. How does your faith impact your finances? Those types of questions, as well as asking questions about sex and if I was a liberal or conservative more or less and was I following modern Christian or conservative values of the GOP. I was offered to move to next round and to take an assessment at home, along with a mandatory 1 hour session of Ramsey University to do with my wife. This process is where you get the awesome opportunities to pay for the apps the video will mention, you're a jobseeker after all and since youre looking you must need some financial assistance! I digress. I completed this portion on a Friday which quickly turned into a Monday interview with hiring manager. Lots more faith based questions, only a few pertaining to the position or actuall day to day job requirements. No mention of my assessment which I can only assume was unimpeachable. They really want to know that when you go to help these guys, youre not going to get offended by their own boisterous opinions or guns on their hip lines. FF to yesterday afternoon with the nice 20 something calling me to tell me I wasnt selected because someone was further along in the process, which was never mentioned, meaning they hired someone internally and were just going thru the have-to's of their policy wasting everyones time whom applied, and tanking their own integrity. This place is just like any other. They'll abandon their principles and justify them on a whim, which may be their real code. In the end, I believe they posts jobs and decline people just get more potential customers :/

Pretty long process, everyone is really nice and they communicate really well. You get to interact and meet your leader which is nice. Makes sure you are clear on the base salary before moving forward.

Would not recommend, before you even get to actually speaking with someone about the role you have to complete an assessment that while incredibly easy is mostly nonsense and time consuming. Oh and you need to watch a least 3 hours of their "classes" and they track this to see if you did.

I had one of the weirdest and most uncomfortable interviews I've ever had throughout my 10+ year career with Ramsey Solutions. I was invited to a regular first-round interview on Zoom, which is totally normal and I've done this dozens of times with other companies. During this first interview, the staff member asked multiple normal questions, like where I've worked before, tell me about yourself, what are you looking to do next, what kind of projects have you been involved with, etc. Seemed normal so far. Later during the interview, I was asked multiple questions about my stance on credit and my personal sexual conduct--yes, you read that right. I was asked about whether or not I made any sexually immoral decisions in a workplace interview. Regardless of my theoretical or real answer to that, my question to the company is: how would you even know if someone was being sexually immoral? More importantly, how would you know if someone's lying or telling the truth? Even MORE importantly, why would someone who's sexually immoral even bother interviewing with a company like Ramsey Solutions--a clearly Christian, conservative organization--regardless of the outcome? As if things couldn't get weirder, about 2-3 weeks after my initial interview (and turning in my assignment to them early), I had a different recruiter reach out to me on a different platform about the same role. I let this individual know I hadn't heard back from the existing staff member. The whole thing made me think / feel their process is unprofessional, disorganized, and behind the times. This was one of the most exhausting and frustrating interview experiences I've ever had.

It can be long. They really dig in to see if you are a culture fit. If it is entry level, culture fit is #1 priority. If it is not entry level, culture and experience go hand-in-hand.

Very thorough interview process. Did not get the job as they are very, very particular about who they bring on to their team. I don't blame them but it was quite the in-depth interview for it not to work out. They were very communicative and prompt in letting me know they chose another direction.

Long interview process. You will have a full day of interviews with different departments, but it is worth it. They want to make sure you are the right fit for the role and understand the culture. Lots of great people, and a great place to learn from very talented individuals.

This interview as an initial interview with HR recruiter allowed me to learn more about the company and them to know what I was looking for in a company. Prior to this interview, I completed the digital marketer assessment.

Not sure how they haven't gotten in trouble for discrimination yet? While the process seemed very professional, I was shocked when we got to the "value" discussion. They shared their values which have religious roots -- okay fine. But to then ask questions about not having sex before marriage (which is apparently one of their values?) and ending the conversation after I did not want to disclose that information, stating I am not a good fit... Seems discriminatory to me? And a bit cult-y. Super specific workplace culture/values. Don't waste your time interviewing if you're not religious, and don't agree with everything Dave says. There doesn't seem to be much diversity of thought allowed at this company...
