I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Saint Petersburg, FL)
Interview
The interview process at Raymond James for a software engineer position typically follows several stages, each designed to evaluate different aspects of a candidate's skills, experience, and cultural fit. Here’s an overview of what candidates can generally expect:
1. Application and Initial Screening
Application Submission: Candidates apply through the Raymond James careers website or via job boards.
Initial Screening: A recruiter reviews the resume to ensure the candidate meets the basic qualifications for the position. This may include an initial phone screen to discuss the candidate's background and interest in the role.
2. Technical Phone Interview
Technical Assessment: This stage often involves a technical phone interview with a software engineer or hiring manager. The interview focuses on the candidate’s technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of software engineering principles. Common topics include algorithms, data structures, and possibly questions related to the candidate’s experience with specific technologies listed in the job description.
Behavioral Questions: In addition to technical questions, there might be some behavioral questions to gauge

Interview
Smooth but very slow, ask about SDLC a lot. They are interested in SQL queries and past experience. I'm pretty sure they asked about projects I work on independently. Make sure you can speak to your resume's experience.
The first round is essentially a one-way interview, where you only need to record a video on the provided website. You have unlimited opportunities to re-record. The questions are mostly behavioral, with a total of six. It is recommended to learn more about the company's culture in advance.
