For those thinking of applying for a strategy position at Charles Schwab, save yourself some time and don’t. I went through all the rounds, wasted my time on the take home case (which contained a real business problem they are dealing with, free work), and they would have ghosted me if I hadn’t reached out weeks after the final round. For the amount of effort put in, it is astonishing how little consideration they give candidates.
