I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Merrill (Austin, TX) in Sep 2011
Interview
After applying online for the position a recruiter emailed me to set up an initial test time. The test was the FIAT like everyone else has mentioned on this sight. Once I passed the FIAT, I was invited to take the personality test online. The admin assistant let me know immediately that I passed and then invited me to a career night. This phase was more for the people who knew nothing about Merrill but was a good pep rally for those who are familiar with Merrill. I had one formal interview with the director and then a casual one to make the offer. Overall I like the culture of the company. Don't consider if you are not ready to work harder than you ever have in your life. But, if you do, be prepared to make more money that you ever have in your life.

Question 1
How will you use connections to build book of business?
I was interviewed by one senior advisor and the market executive. They played good cop bad cop. One said I was under qualified and the other laid out the job description as if I had already been given an offer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Merrill (Palmdale, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
Preliminary recruiter treated me like a number with “the opportunity” to interview for the role. Once I passed to the next step, the actual manager spoke of how he treated his own employees when a customer would personally attack the employees. He said there is always a reason the customer is dissatisfied. I disagreed and said I didn’t want to work under a company that threw its employees under the bus for the sake of appeasing a customer
