I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AXA (New York, NY) in May 2019
Interview
The interview was 20-30 minutes long. Questions were mostly behavioral and the recruiter made the interview feel like a casual conversation.
However, the front office is very segmented so do not expect every team in the floor to be the same. In general terms, there is a high degree of comradery among advisors.
