I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wealthfront in May 2026
Interview
The recruiter was super pushy, way too harsh, and not at all a good interview experience. Constantly pushed to know who and what I was interviewing with and wanted to get me to talk about their company for an hour on call and was obsessed with if I had them as my dream company. Didn't leave much room for discussion as it felt not matter what my response was all options were weighted against me.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wealthfront in Nov 2023
Interview
Manager reached out on LinkedIn. Recruiter then scheduled a 1on1 video interview with said manager. This interview was about 30 minutes. The manager was unfriendly and not personable. He just read questions off a list and didn’t seem interested in any answer and probably knew he wasn’t going to hire me from the first 30 seconds. Waste of time.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wealthfront (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn and scheduled a phone interview with a technical manager. The phone interview went fine with the manager talking about their backend stack and asking about my experience. Next, I took an online coding assessment which I seemingly passed with flying colors according to the test cases provided. About a week later I got an email which stated they would not be moving forward in the process. I was kind of shocked so I emailed them back and asked if they had any feedback but never got a response. A general waste of time, I would not recommend responding to recruiter inquiries.
