Two rounds of interviews with a final call with an offer from HR. Both interviews were web-based. Both interviewers were very personable and described the job and company very well.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Merrill (New York, NY)
Interview
Got introduced to the head of the office (Market Executive) by former colleague who was a financial advisor in that location. The day of my interview I had three interviews. The first two with other advisors in the office who reported back to the head of the office their thoughts on me. By the time I met with the head of the office, it was less of an interview process and more "both advisors recommended you, congratulations, so my job now is to explain to you the particulars should you wish to accept this role." He did agree to my request to set up a one-on-one discussion with one of the most senior advisors in the office before I agreed to accept, and they were very accommodating on my start date.
