I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merrill (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Started with a phone interview, asking about current financial situations. Was relatively easy, asked to come in from an interview. As long as your are relaxed and answer questions to the best of your ability, you'll be fine. Sales is also important in a job like this, you will most likely be cold calling.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a group project that you recently worked on and what role you played. Have you ever worked in a sales position before?
The interview for the wealth management intern position was a disaster. The interviewer seemed disinterested and unprepared, and the questions were vague and irrelevant. Total waste of time never again
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merrill (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
The interview process was pretty standard. They started with a hirevue/on demand interview that lasted around 10 minutes. I then got notified around a month later that I received a final round interview (superday interview). This was mostly behavioral and only a few technical questions.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Merrill (New York, NY) in Oct 2022
Interview
Started with a HireVue and then a zoom interview which consisted of 4 20-minute interviews. Mostly behavioral questions, very much getting to know you and understanding your mindset. The whole process took around three weeks.
