Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at SS&C
It took about two weeks to hear back from SS&C. My interview lasted all of 5 minutes. The recruiter quickly ended my interview when salary expectations were “very far a part”. Salary range should be listed on job recs so you don’t waste HR and candidates time. I wouldn’t recommend applying here.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SS&C
Assessment centre followed by a numeracy, literacy and aptitude test then an interview. Took almost a month of chasing up to find out that from the hiring manager that they had quit the company, had zero feedback from the interview, extra questions were not acknowledged whatoever and was offered a potential role that was not what I was applying for. Declined based on the dreadful treatment during the process after the interview.
- Assessment centre - group exercise Interview - general questions about interests in the field

Anonymous Interview Candidate
