I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Silicon Valley Bank (Boston, MA) in Mar 2020
Interview
The interview process was managed very well (I was communicating with one recruiter the whole time). I went through and employee referral, which I would highly recommend because they receive a lot of applications. I had a brief phone screen with a recruiter who quickly told me I would move on to the next round. She sent me a link to complete a HireVue interview, which is a video interview where you are prompted to answer 3 questions and record yourself giving answers (all behavioral). Two weeks later I heard that I would be moving to the final round: Super Day. I met with 4 members of the SVB team and one current ADPer, each for 30 minutes. They were all extremely friendly and all of my interviews were very conversational, just trying to assess if I'd be a good match for the team and the work. 5 days later I was notified that I was offered the position. Overall, this was a very friendly process and I'm very excited about the opportunity to work at SVB.

Initial phone call with a recruiter, interview with a hiring manager. The recruiter and everyone I spoke to who worked there was great. The hiring manager rolled their eyes in the interview and was very rude.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Silicon Valley Bank (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2024
Interview
Total of 4 rounds. 1st is a recruiter screen then a second round with a senior member. Third round is 2 interviews back to back with one who passed the ADP program and a senior talent member. Did not reach the 4th. Super easy questions all behavioral. They look for a specific kind of person so make sure to really nail down your interest in the program and how your past experiences led to this point.
