Interviewed Jun 2010 in Seattle, WA (took 2 days)
First there was a phone interview with the recruiter. They just ask basic questions about yourself. Then I head back within about a week to schedule an in person interview. There were three rounds of interviews. Most of these interviews were in small groups 2-3 people. All questions were situational...tell me about a time...what would you do if. There were no case questions.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 weeks)
After the first on campus interview, I got into the final round. The final interview was from 9:30am to 3:30pm, we went to the headquarter for interviews and then they showed us around. There were 3 people interviewed me for 2 hours, but it was 1:1. The general interview was nice, but it was a little bit too long. They showed us the building and the working condition. I realized I didn't really like the environment. Everyone was sitting right next to each other with a small table and computer. All your work is justing calling somebody. Even though i didn't get the offer I am not feeling very upset.

Three 1 hour interviews with three separate people. Be prepared to answer the following questions:
Why choose Fisher?
How did you hear about Fisher?
Tell me what you know about the firm: (think of clients they service, what markets they operate in internationally, talk about how much they have grown in the past few years and how you can't wait to work for a company that is growing in such a bad economy...)

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Vancouver, WA (took 3 weeks)
I had a phone interview first. This consisted of explaining current and prior work history, education, extra curricular activities in college, why I want to work for Fisher, why I don't want to work for current employer, what my skills/duties were at past jobs. I was called back in two days and told that they would like to have me in for a face to face interview. The interview started by speaking with the same recruiter who did the phone interview, then the manager for the CSA position and ending with their manager. Total interview time was about 2 1/2 hours long. The wait time for a notice on whether or not I received an offer was approximately two weeks. Overall experience was good.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Vancouver, WA (took 2 weeks)
I submitted my resume and received a call from a recruiter a week later. Scheduled a quick phone interview the next day, then had an in-office interview the next week. First was with department manager who was cold and inattentive, then SVP who was friendly and engaging. I got the distinct impression that the department head already had a candidate in mind and was going through the motions.

Interviewed May 2011 in San Mateo, CA (took a day)
I submitted my cover and letter and resume via Fisher Investment's career website, and was contacted by their corporate recruiter within a week. The recruiter scheduled a phone interview. I was then asked to come in to the office for an on-site interview. On the day of the interview, I met with their local corporate recruiter. He asked me some basic, behavioral questions--resume, experience, reason for interest in Fisher. I was then interviewed by the leader of the Client Services team. He also asked about basic, behavioral question.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Camas, WA (took 3 months)
Had a 1-1 interview with a recruiter on the phone, then another 1-1 with the recruiter at their location. This was followed by an interview by two of their current supervisors of the Client Services Associate department. The interview was not bad - mostly asking about my resume and work experience and how that fit into the current opening. Just be prepared to talk about your resume and work experience and your related skills.
Then I had to come back with who I believe was the regional VP of sales - this interview was OK. In the process of answering a question, he would interrupt and ask a follow up question - every single time. This did not allow me to fully or completely answer any of the questions asked, which was honestly kind of frustrating. But, it seemed to only have just been a "hot seat" approach where you need to be on your toes.
I thought the process was long and drawn out. The recruiter was good about communicating with me the status of my application, but every time I talked to the recruiter it was kind of misleading. I didn't get the position, but in my phone conversations with her, her energy, words she used, the way she described things seemed misleading. I did not get the position for a certain round of hiring, but said I would be in consideration in the next round. They said to call back in a month, and then I also got a no offer when I followed up. The process was a bit long and drawn out, and frustrating, in the sense I felt somewhat strung along for a long time.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The phone and face to face interviews were actually not bad at all, everyone I spoke to was really friendly and generally I had a good interview experience. No technical questions, they just want to get a sense of your personality, work ethic, and goals. Ask lots of questions! My major critique was that I pretty much got teased by HR with too many positive commentary post interview to make it sound like things for me were going really well for almost 2 months post interview, and then I stopped hearing from them and when I followed up they told me that because they had too many applicants and the economy was bad, they weren't moving forward with my application. Thanks.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Vancouver, WA (took 3 days)
First had a 30 minute phone interview with a recruiter. Was then brought down to Vancouver Washington for a number of interviews over the course of one day with a recruiter, and a variety of team members which lasted about 4 hours. Lastly had another 30 minute phone interview with the team manager (would usually be in person however he recently had a kid and was staying down in Cali.) About a week after my last interview was given an offer.

Reason for Declining
Location, location, location. Vancouver Washington and Camas working in and around a number of strip malls wasn't my cup of tea.
