Interviewed Jan 2012 in Las Vegas, NV (took 5 days)
Rather structured approach, well managed and overseen. Originally filled out application on line, then was asked to complete competency / personality test on line, after that there was a rather easy test at the office testing basic logic / computation skills. Then there was a rather long interview on the phone, followed by 1-1 in person.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Las Vegas, NV (took 6+ weeks)
traditional interview with a recruiter
time to meet a manager in person.....confidence is key...basic situational interview....tell me about a time and what happened
confidence is key
2nd interview was over the phone
unorganized and was obviously searching on the weather page by his comments
as the interviews went on the situational questions got more specific and more difficult...most difficult i have had after many many same old questions. I give them props for that

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 5 days)
Firm contacted me, initially passed, they kept contacting me to express continued interest. Eventually hired me. Previous firm had provided erroneous information on public records which took 6 months to get corrected through the government regulator, FINRA. The initial Firm contact person was very positive and confident in me. All telephone contacts and face to face interviews were professionally conducted. I was notified immediately of my hiring and the process was handled in a positive way.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 1 week)
Mass interview process with focus on ability to pass the licensing tests, and extreme focus on what they call "natural market" (ie. family, friends, co-workers, etc.). Spoke w/ other advisors that were already employed and not one of them recommended to pursue the career w/ this firm. Interviewing manager thought a lot of himself.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
I was getting a call from them to schedule an interview in June. There were two people who interviewed me in the company. And they were trying to find someone who will fit into their company's culture. I think if people were showing that they were passionate about this career and have excellent interpersonal skill and willingness to learn will give a big help to the interview.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Phone interview happened right away with recruiter. Asked basic questions about background and job needs. 1:1 interview was entirely behavior based questions. "Tell me about a time....". Very slow to call back after 1:1 with next steps. You will have to make some calls yourself if you want to learn more about your status.
