I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments
Interview
Phone interview was about personality, basic questions. The 3 on 1 round robin interview was about experience and situational problems. Then the hiring manager, that I met with last seemed concerned I was overqualified. I assured him I wanted to learn "from the ground up" and he liked that answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to parlay your consulting experience into financial services?
Applied, within 24 hours got an offer to interview over the phone. Phone interview was positive and was told I’d be recommended for a video interview. 3 days later, got a boilerplate rejection email. The kind that says, “after careful consideration” you know the one. The one that feigns consideration as corporate insulation from the applicants. If you want to still apply for a company that says, verbatim per the email,
“We understand you may want additional information about our decision. However, as a company policy, we do not provide feedback”, then you are entitled to your own pain and suffering.
Phone Interview, behaviour questions and availability. Asked about previous work experiences. Spoke for about 30 mins. Recruiter was new. The conversation was not flowing. Hence I was hesitant with my answers. But it was not very difficult.
Good experience with their recruiters. They are very nice and professional, and HR shares lots of helpful information and positive insights. They also have a very systematic, clear, and well-organized interview schedule.
