Raymond James & Associates Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Fairly straightforward process, I had a phone screen with HR, then a phone interview with the hiring manager, then flew out to interview and take some tests (wonderlic, personality, etc.). I interviewed with my manager and 3 other senior members of the organization, had lunch with my manager, and that was it. Mostly fit type questions, with a few technical ones thrown in.

Negotiation Details – Minimal negotiations, they offered the number I was looking for, and a small sign on bonus to cover relocation. Vacation starts at 10 days for all new employees, so you may want to negotiate more.

Interview Details – 2 interviews, answered basic questions with HR on the first one. The second interview was with the hiring manager.

Negotiation Details – They just told me what the job paid.

Interview Details – Once you apply on Taleo, then you get an email confirmation of the application. Usually an HR assistant will call you to schedule your interview. All very professional. The typical interviews consist of about 3-4 questions and make sure you bring your own questions as well.They are typical interviews with typical interview questions.

Negotiation Details – Negotiated salary and paid vacation time off. They gave me an additional week since I had accumulated a number of weeks at my last employer. Salary negotiations didnt go well. I still accepted the offer since they negotiated the time off

Interview Details – I am currently in the process of relocating to FL. Received email from branch about opportunity. Part of reason I went down one week before my move was to interview for the position. I was handed a 12 minute aptitude test that nothing with the industry and was never asked any questions about my skills and qualifications. I received an email later in the afternoon that the position was filled.

Interview Details – I went through 2 interviews with Raymond James for a full time compliance position. I took a personality test and other test requirements for the position. Even though I didn't get the job, the interviewers were very nice and the interviewing process was very pleasant. The interviewing process was fairly quick, accurate, and professional.

Interview Details – Had an initial phone interview with the Sr. Analyst and asked me to complete a brief overview of a company. After I submitted my analysis I had another conversation with the Sr. Analyst. After that I was asked to come into the office to meet with the Sr. Analyst and two Associate's. The questions were mostly centered around my interest in the markets. The conversation quickly turned to my knowledge of technicals (ROE v. Operating Margin; how to compute depreciation, definitions and usage of key multiples EBITDA, EV/EBITDA, etc.)

Overall, the interview was fairly laid back and really just wanted to see if i had a strong interest in the stock market and if I knew some fairly basic accounting and valuation principles.

Interview Details – General questions: Tell me about yourself, strengths/weaknesses, best boss, worst boss, team leadership abilities.

Interview Details – Very informal interview process. Their main concern is about acquiring the best person with the right attitude that fits the culture at the firm. I stumbled upon Raymond James at a career fair, had an in-person interview the next day, was given a call to fly down for final rounds. Everybody I came into contact with was great, genuine, and good-hearted. Final round was a dinner the first night and then interviewing/IQ testing the next day. The interviewing is all behavioral but the more it turns into a conversation, the better chance you have. The test is pretty simple stuff but the time limits you have are what makes it tough (30 questions in 2 mins.) We took the Wonderlic as well.

All in all, I really liked the interview process. It was fun and refreshing compared to other ones. I received an offer over Spring Break which was great and I accepted.

Interview Details – I was contacted by Raymond James to schedule a phone interview about 10 days after I applied for the position. The initial contact was very quick to just define available days and times for the phone interview. The recruiter at Raymond James contacted me at the scheduled time to conduct the interview. She asked very typical interview questions such as:
What skills do you think you could bring to the organization?
What are your strengths/weaknesses?
Can you describe a time when you were involved in a team decision making process and what was your role in that interaction?
What do you like about your job today?
