Interview
Super long 6 hour interview.
There was an hour long introduction talk, followed by a 2 hour group job (it was easy). After that, I had an hour long interview and an hour of online networking after. With multiple breaks in between, you end up having a 6 hour long interview.

Question 1
The actual interview questions were quite typical I feel like:
-Tell me of a time you were creative
-Tell of a time time-management was key
-Tell me of a time you were satisified with your work
etc...

Key Notes: The audit team is divided up between 2-3 silo groups that works in an agile/scrum way. The majority of the team sits in California, so expect to work on PST time. The audit group is not working on any exciting initiatives or special projects, so to my understanding the work is repetitive & mundane. As far as the leadership team, they seemed overwhelmed, basic, and calculating.
While the job posting highlights all of the "traditional" audit skills needed for the job, this group is specifically looking for a person to be a CFPB regulation & data analytics expert (which is a 1 in a million chance someone has this skillset). Hence why the job will be a recurring posting until they find the "perfect person". Do not expect them to offer proper training, certs, special job perks, etc. Millennials take note of this "work hard & fast" speech the Gen X audit leadership here gives. They expect more than they're willing to give, like the Boomers.
