Interviewed Oct 2011 in Jersey City, NJ (took 2 weeks)
At first you are called in for a group interview (more like a presentation) and some head guy tells you how good the job is and then if you like you can opt to move forward and have a one on one interview at a later date if you like what you hear. Then if you do well in that interview you are asked to come back for another interview. You then receive a call about a week later with the details of the interview.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined the offer because it was mostly commission based and was a very individualized type of work environment (you have to find your own clients).
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Responded to an online job board posting and received a call about 3 weeks later from the HR dept. Did a 20 minute phone interview with VP of HR, which consisted of basic job interview questions such as, strengths, weakness, what would your former employer say about you, why do you want to work here, etc.
Received a callback interview the next week and interviewed with two attorneys in their legal department. both were extremely nice ladies. They basically just asked questions based on my resume and I think were trying to get a feel for my personality. Surprised I didn't hear back from them because I thought the interview went well.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 5 days)
I applied for position Sun. Mon I recieved a call from the co. The rep asked a few questions and asked to confirm a presentation time to meet with a VP in a group setting. The VP was articulate. He looked exhausted. His presentation was a bit canned, Post presentation I confirmed an appt to have a 1 on 1 meeting with a tenured financial advisor. He also looked exhausted. He was very nice and shared they are touch on nonperformers, and that nonperformers will spend hours in the office. He said he would recommend me to meet with the VP, and that I should bring a market plan and a list of 50 - 60 contacts (people I plan to solicit) to the meeting with the VP. I voiced my hesistation about sharing my contacts and I think that's the nail that sealed the coffin. The interviewer seemed uncomfortable about my question and the interview ended. I never recieved a call to meet with the VP. The best thing about this opportunity is that you get to keep your book of business should you leave. They offer a $32,000 so called base salary, but because you are a contractor..its actual a loan. And the loan isn't a consistent weekly/bi-weekly payment..advisor will need to hit certain benchmarks to recieve a small portion at a time.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Hong Kong (Hong Kong) (took a day)
The interview consists of many financial questions related to portfolio management and Finance Statement Analysis. The interviewer also asked a lot of behaviourial questions specific to career goals. Prior to the interview, there was a written test in the areas of finance, accounting, computer programming, mathematics and statistics. It's a long test and it probably doesn't assume anybody can finish it within the given amount of time.

Interviewed Jan 2007 in New York, NY (took 5 days)
The interview consisted of two recruiter interviews (one phone, one in-person), a group phone interview (hiring mgr and team lead), one hiring-manager interview, and finally one HR interview (in person). According to the recruiter, I beat out 20 other prospects and it was down to me and one other candidate. The interviews went very well and it appeared I would be hired because I was told the hiring manager liked me a lot, however trouble came with HR. As I was sitting with the HR manager, she picked up a phone call and in that time I took the opportunity to look at my cell phone to check the time (as the interviews took much longer than anticipated and I needed to catch a train). It seems that glance sealed my fate and I didnt get the offer. The HR manager told the recruiter that I "answered my phone" during the interview (completely false, on the contrary, she answered her phone) and said the other interviewee was more "polished" than I was. Indeed this interview process was a huge waste of time over the span of one work week.
