Fisher Investments Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Was contacted by HR to schedule a phone interview for a week later. Called a week later and basically asked questions about my resume. "Tell me what you did as....(position)." The interview lasted for about 30 minutes and then I was allowed to ask questions. I think I was asking questions that she had absolutely no idea about. I kept asking about the investment associate job, then she would answer with an answer that seemed more like a cold call/customer service type job. I kept asking "is this job in investing at all?" So it seems like the "investment" job is not really in investing at all.

After the interview, she said she would pass the "notes" onto the actual hiring manager and if they liked what they saw I would get another phone interview with the actual hiring manager. If they liked that interview, then I would be invited on campus for a personal interview.

Interview Details – The company was very professional, and asked great questions. They allowed an opportunity for me to ask questions, etc.

Interview Details – I just happened to walk into the company one day and simply started talking to a random associate who happened to be a recruiter. By the end of the conversation he handed me his business card and said "go online and submit your resume, and fill free to use my name". From there I received a follow up call from the manager of the position I was applying for. On that first phone call they conducted a brief over-the-phone interview. At the end of that conversation they invited me in for an in person interview. At that interview, the person interviewing me simply said to me "tell me about yourself" then after I did so they merely provided me with information about the position and asked if my qualities met what they wanted. It was shortly wrapped up after that. Roughly two weeks after that interview I received a phone call from the manager informing me I got the position.

Interview Details – I submitted my resume and about a week later I got a random call asking me if I was available to do an on-campus interview the following week. I arrived at the interview and was greeted by the interviewer, a nice man in his mid-thirties. He asked me standard interview questions. All in all, the interview was pleasant and i thought I did well, but I guess not well enough!

Interview Details – Talked to a campus recruiter at a career fair. Wanted to set up an on campus interview, but I had an exam that day and could not do it. A week later I got a call scheduling a phone interview. Phone interview was behavioral and conversational. Nothing extremely difficult, questions dealing with strengths, weaknesses, goals, etc.

Interview Details – Got flown out to the Portland location for a final round of interviews. One day full of intense interview sessions(four 30-45 min sessions), one day to explore Portland on your own, next day flew home. Be prepared to ask A LOT of open ended questions at the end of each interview. That lasts for about 15-20 min for each interview.

Interview Details – Four interviews that were all behavioral.

Interview Details – Had 2 phone interviews and was invited to the company site in San Mateo. Had 2 in person interview and by the end of the second one it was clear we were not a good fit.

Interview Details – I had two phone interviews that lasted about 45mins and I was invited to the Camas office for an interview. While on sight I went on a tour of the building and then I was interviews by 5 more people. The questions were pretty basic but I was asked the same questions by different people. The interviewers were uptight and barely cracked a smile. The only person I was comfortable talking to was the hiring manager. Some of the interviewers were looking out the window during the interview. One interviewer didn't even take the time to look at my résumé before the interview. He spent the first ten minutes reading my résumé.

Reason for Declining – I did not really feel welcomed during the process. It seems like they are interviewing so many people that they lose track of making you comfortable. It seems like people get bored easily in their job because everyone is moving around to different jobs within the firm. It can be a good thing but the average time someone spends in any positions is 2 years. The job seems robotic and you have to say exactly what the firm wants. If you go through a staffing agency, they won't leave you alone until your sign. They act like they care about you but all they want is the referral fee,
