Interview
I interviewed for a position at Banner Bank and found the process thorough and professional. After applying online, I went through an initial phone screening where I was asked behavioral and industry-specific questions. There was also a personality assessment that tested financial knowledge and customer service. Awaiting next steps, but so far, it was a positive experience, with a good balance of technical and cultural evaluation.
I applied online. I interviewed at Banner Bank (Portland, OR) in May 2023
Interview
Very straightforward and easy. Everyone was organized and polite. The hiring process took less than two weeks. That’s including the first interview, to background checks, to onboarding/actual start date. Quickest turnaround I’ve ever experienced at a financial institution.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard questions about relevant banking experience as well as customer service tactics. Things like “give an example of a difficult customer you worked with” to “tell us, what would your game-plan as a banker if you were hired here”
