I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Vancouver, WA)
Interview
Applied online through university website, they contacted me and gave a 30min phone interview. Asked general stuff, education, work experience, greatest achievement, then was invited to an in person group interview. Paid my own travel expenses, met with a group of about twelve applicants. A day of group presentations, then each applicant has a one on one with three different managers. Same run of questions. Called me back after I called them a week after the interview.
first round: Phone Call with a recruiter. He asked basic questions like tell me about yourself, why do you want to work at Fisher Investments and etc. The process was smooth and clear.
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.
