I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (London, England) in Aug 2019
Interview
I got interviewed by two people. One woman and one man which are both in their late 20s I would say. The man was professional and I had a good experience with him. However the woman was rude. She has her cellphone on the table and checked her phone several times while I was speaking and just seemed not interested at all. It was very unprofessional and rude. She did not seem interested at all and just based on that I felt like I wasn't going to get the job even though I had the qualifications. From what they both told me none of them had any experience being managers or had any jobs that required them deal with people which was suprising since the woman was a manager but was acted like a unbothered teenager in class. The office seemed very rigid and small with no place for the people working there. The salary was attractive however looking back now I am glad I didn't get the job. I did not get a good vibe at all!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Be prepared for a lot of questions about the company.
first round: Phone Call with a recruiter. He asked basic questions like tell me about yourself, why do you want to work at Fisher Investments and etc. The process was smooth and clear.
Applied, within 24 hours got an offer to interview over the phone. Phone interview was positive and was told I’d be recommended for a video interview. 3 days later, got a boilerplate rejection email. The kind that says, “after careful consideration” you know the one. The one that feigns consideration as corporate insulation from the applicants. If you want to still apply for a company that says, verbatim per the email,
“We understand you may want additional information about our decision. However, as a company policy, we do not provide feedback”, then you are entitled to your own pain and suffering.
Phone Interview, behaviour questions and availability. Asked about previous work experiences. Spoke for about 30 mins. Recruiter was new. The conversation was not flowing. Hence I was hesitant with my answers. But it was not very difficult.
