I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at FINRA (Rockville, MD) in Dec 2015
Interview
The phone interview was quite intense. Only a few questions asked such as "what do you know about Finra and their project?" Then the manager went on talking about their projects. Interview finishes with a few SQL and data cleansing questions. At the end of the interview, interviewer did not show either positive/negative opinion regarding the performance.
