Overall, the process was smooth and suited to the pace of my job search as I was traveling frequently at the time. Specifically: I was initially introduced to Wealthfront by a friend who put me in touch with a member of the growth team, with whom I had breakfast. I was then put in touch with the VP of engineering, Avery Moon. A week later, Avery and I spent about two hours together over coffee, during which he spoke about what Wealthfront is doing and why. I was impressed by his ability to articulate a clear mission and vision for the firm. Over the next couple of days, as I became increasingly enthusiastic about my potential role, I was invited back to the office where I met many other members of the research and engineering teams, did a programming task, and worked through a few math problems. The following week, I was invited back to meet the CEO, Adam Nash. The meeting was interesting and friendly, even fun. Finally, a week later I met with Avery once more because I wanted to probe the specifics of my role. After my indicating that I would accept an offer if one was extended, the offer followed the next day.

1. Contacted by the recruiter. 2. Simple phone screen with the head, description of research, and the head of research talked about the company a lot. 3. Remote one-on-one technical interview with four people. 4. Last phone screen, interest confirmation.
