I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Merrill (Carmel, IN) in Feb 2014
Interview
Several steps involved: phone interview with the hiring manager and HR, in-office interview with management, and interview with specific team that I would be working with. The team I interviewed for broke that session down to two parts. The first 30 minutes I spent speaking with the lead advisors of the team, and when they decided to move ahead they had me sit down with other CAs on the team that I would be working with. The advisors asked questions more in line with job experience and skills, and the CAs asked more questions about personality and best situation for working. Together the advisors and CAs made up a very thorough and comprehensible interview.
