Anonymous Interview Candidate in Chicago, IL
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wintrust Financial (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2023
Internal recruiter was really rude and unorganized. Asked for available times to contact, but did not setup or confirm time and called out of the blue. Further, recruiter said if we don't call you, we aren't interested. Ok...I was only asking the next steps in the process.

Anonymous Interview Candidate

Applied online. Began screening interviews for role with the recruiter responsible. We had a good dialog and the recruiter was very pleasant and easy to talk to. I did not feel like it was a one-way interrogation as can sometimes happen. Next steps will be technical knowledge reviews. Then hiring manager and team member interviews.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wintrust Financial in Nov 2022
I had three interviews; the first being over the phone and the second two being over zoom. I was told they would get back to me regardless if I was chosen for the position or not and that if they liked me I would have to fly in for a fourth interview. It's been two months with zero communication other than they would let me know. The interviews themselves were not hard but having three interviews with no one getting back to me was.
