I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Merrill (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Pretty simple and standard interview. 30-minute phone call with the financial advisor who was going to supervise me during the internship. Exchanged a couple of emails before that to arrange a time, and he corresponded with HR to make everything go smoothly. Documents got mailed in a timely manner, and instructions and processes were very well-planned.
The interview for the wealth management intern position was a disaster. The interviewer seemed disinterested and unprepared, and the questions were vague and irrelevant. Total waste of time never again
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merrill (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
The interview process was pretty standard. They started with a hirevue/on demand interview that lasted around 10 minutes. I then got notified around a month later that I received a final round interview (superday interview). This was mostly behavioral and only a few technical questions.
