Application

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wintrust Financial (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2023

Interview

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.

What’s the best way to have a lack of compensation and incentive conversation in your department? I went above and beyond for years doing extra work, organizations etc and nothing has been reflected in pay. I thought my 5 year was going to finally show something but it did not. I’ve inquired about pay but it’s gotten nowhere.

Interview

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.

Interview Questions
  • General overview of my background, linking experience to the specific requirements in the job description. Discussion of my preferences and environment.

Good, but difficult at times in the most difficult ways. The only thing you can do is prepare and attempt to understand the world from that side of the table. Recommend!

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Wintrust Financial in Nov 2022

Interview

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.

Easy enough as it was only one over the phone interview and an offer was made after two hours. Everyone was nice over the call and asked generic interview questions.
