I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Edelman Financial Engines (New York, NY) in Jan 2013
Interview
Easy laid back interviiew, very easy, more getting to know you and simple conversation. This is a better approach because nowadays interviews seem fake , and answers are fixated. The interviewer seems to want to know about you as an individual - what your hobbies are , recreational acitivity etc Very nice office setting, laid back office. People were extremely kind and helpful. This looks like a great firm to work for. I did not accept their offer as I received a better opportunity. They do offer a wonderful benefits package.

I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman Financial Engines (Milwaukee, WI) in Mar 2026
Interview
I had a very positive experience interviewing with Edelman Financial Engines. The process consisted of three stages: an initial conversation with a recruiter, followed by interviews with the hiring manager and a financial planner.
Each stage was well-organized, professional, and communicated clearly. The recruiter was responsive and helpful in setting expectations, and both the hiring manager and planner created a welcoming environment while still asking thoughtful, relevant questions.
Overall, the process felt thorough but efficient, and I appreciated the transparency throughout. It gave me a strong sense of the company culture and what the role would entail.
