I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2020
Interview
Multiple rounds of interviews with a few different managers. It started with phone interviews then I was flown out to Dallas to interview in person. You could tell they were doing interviews all day long and probably could not keep track of who was who. It is a very large company so you cant blame them for having to do interviews this way.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the biggest risk you have taken in your life and how did you handle it?
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.
