The interview process was fast. I interviewed with 7+ individuals on the hiring team. Everyone was super genuine and gave a good idea of what is possible at First Republic.

Question 1
how do you deal with difficult candidates or hiring managers?
It was over zoom and very quick. They asked me 4 to 5 questions and they were all behavioral. Overall, the process was fast and I heard back within 2 weeks of the final interview.

Question 1
Q: What experience do you have with working multiple tasks at once?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at First Republic (San Francisco, CA) in May 2016
Interview
I had a very basic phone screen. The interviewer didn't seem engaged at all; in fact it really seemed like she was just reading off a list of questions rather than having a real conversation. I was told at the end that she was moving me forward to the hiring manager who would let me know soon what next steps would be. I never heard back.
As someone who has done this for a living that is appalling practice. It is unacceptable to not at the very least send a rejection email once someone has been interviewed. I've had many wonderful interviews so I believe its possible to handle it properly. Its ironic really that they are trying to hire someone for this type of roll but mishandled it so greatly. Clearly they need it more than they realize.
