The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Merrill (Toms River, NJ) in Jun 2009
Interview
I went in to the office to speak to the branch manager. He was very friendly and talked to me about my life and my past. Than i talked with a financial advisor who was in charge of the intern program. He talked about the same things plus career interests and why i wanna work for Merrill. It went very smooth because as long as your somewhat competent they could use an extra intern to do the ground work for them.
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.

Started with a HireVue and then a zoom interview which consisted of 4 20-minute interviews. Mostly behavioral questions, very much getting to know you and understanding your mindset. The whole process took around three weeks.
