Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
There was a phone interview where the guy basically just told me how awesome he thought I was. At first I was excited so I went in for an in person interview. At this point he just talked about his firm and didn't really ask me any questions, just pitched the job opportunity to me. He asked me to come back for a third interview which would have been a small group interview but I declined because AXA is a scam.

Reason for Declining
After checking the internet, over time they make you buy a computer from them and rent your cubicle space.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in High Point, NC (took a day)
Interviewed with one of the regional reps. I met him at his office in High Point, the position they were offering was basically a no risk position to them, you start out on your own and make contacts and try to sell people insurance or investment products. I am sure I was picked out because I had my Series 7 License.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
They offered you one year of salary help then you are on your own and only make what you can off of commissions. I had previously worked in a banking investment position and you had more support, as in people with CDs at the bank getting referred to you to invest in something that could possibly yield more return, here you are all on your own and only get the contacts you generate yourself - I wasn't interested in building a business on my own by cold calling people.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
Pretty standard 1 to 1 interview. Had me fill out a background check form and wanted to schedule another interview. They said the second interview would be partially a seminar and part interview with the team management. They had made the position seem like it was more analysis, but I left with the feeling that it would be purely insurance sales. Plus it's all commission based for the first few months. Definitely and industry where you can make some money, but its not easy.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 7+ weeks)
The first interview was face to face with the group manager and was somewhat informal. The second interview was a phone interview that consisted of specific questions target the job role. The third and last interview was conducted with the group manager as well as the Vice President of the division. There was little interaction concerning the job. Most of the conversation involved talking about the potential earnings and benefits that could be earned by working there. The process was more of a "sell" than a formal Q&A.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The job is commission based and there are a lot of start up costs involved. Be sure to have a vast network of potential clients as well as some capital to invest. The job is purely "entrepreneurial" and requires strong determination and work ethic.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.
