Interviewed Feb 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
I had 3 in-person interviews in one day. Each was 45 minutes. They asked mostly behavioral questions, but there were also brainteasers. People there were very friendly and interested in getting to know you. They held a little breakfast right before the interviews for you to mingle with other candidates and interviewers. The whole process was very smooth, not stressful at all. They also made their decisions fairly quickly.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took 5 weeks)
HR did a comprehensive interview, while the AVP did not spend any time at all completing the overall process. The HR Director asked some very open-ended questions and spent about an hour discussing the company, position, and expectations. HR described the process of hiring,etc.
The AVP did not spend enough time during the interview process; however, HR did spend a lot of time leaving with a good feeling about AXA's overall environment.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 3 days)
Two short one on one interviews with different financial advisers and a final interview was with one of your previous advisers and the head adviser. AXA has a very professional atmosphere so wearing a suit and being properly groomed is a must. Also, you must sell yourself in these interviews and show them that you are a people person and enjoy selling and interacting with many different type of people. The advisers are extremely money driven and will expect you to work around 60 hours a week when you first start off. New advisers must also create a list of 150 people who is on their natural market and must try to sell to their friends and family.

I was interviewed by a VP who did an hour presentation and immediaitely wanted to set up a follow up interview that following week. The process was easy and the company ended up being a horrible fit.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Portland, OR (took 3 weeks)
I am very disappointed with my interview experience with AXA. My first interview was more like a presentation from the VP. The VP went through a whole presentation on how great the company was including that AXA was the 15th largest company in the world. It seemed more like a sales presentation than anything. Afterwards they give you a questionaire, basically asking if I was still interested in the job, (in which who would say no after hearing a great sales pitch on how amazing the company is.) Then the next day the call you to schedule a "so-called interview" and have you complete a personality profile on line. The personality profile on line is not like any other personality test I have ever done. It doesn't ask any questions about your personality, it just asks you what you believe the job is about. I felt this a little strange and then started doing some research online and to my surprise many people felt similiar about AXA. I also discovered that AXA was not the 15th largest company in the world, it was number 99 on the list, but they had been 15th in 2006-2007. It is 2009, why would they continue telling people they are the 15th largest? I started to feel very uneasy about this company but decided I would go in for the next interview. Just as I had expected after reading everyones reviews, they once again didn't ask me any questions about myself. It was another interview (sales pitch) on why I should work for them and how I could potentially make $200-$400k a year. Towards the end of the interview, I had to sign a paper for them to proceed with a backround check.......this seemed very odd since usually companies move forward with the backround check once they think you will be a good fit. I was also asked to put a marketing plan together for my next interview, which is basically making a list of all the people I knew that could be potential AXA clients. I would advise anyone to be very weary of this company and do your research. The point is....there is no risk to them as a company since it is all commission, if you bring in no clients, you aren't costing them a dime and if you do, they make money off of you.
