Fisher Investments interview questions

Got a call back one day after posting my resume. The first interview with the recruiter was easy- it felt as if they were selling me more on them than vice versa. A second call was scheduled with a manager that was also very easy ( why do you want to work at fisher?). I was offered an on site interview about a day later. They requested that I pay for my flight and travel Fxpenses, but after some negotiation they covered them. I had been told by others that working at Fisher may impede my chance to be hired by more prestigious firms later on, but I went into the interview intent on getting an offer anyway. The office is about a half hour north of Portland in an unlabeled one story building behind a wallmart. Compared to the other companies I had interviewed with, the office struck me with a degree of fear. The recruiter gave me a tour of the office- it was thousands of square feet of row after row of phones and desks. Theres was nothing to distinguish one department from another except the sex of the employees- it looked like some departments were entirely comprised of women ( marketing, recruiting) while most others were entirely comprised of men. It looked like they had they had taken the principals of industrial farming and brought it to the corporate world. It was very obvious they would never bring clients there. I was taken to a second unlabeled building were they held the account execs. My first interview was with the recruiter, who was the highlight of the entire process. She was very young, although very kind, and only asked me resume based and behavioral questions- nothing at all technical. At times she seemed more interested in hypotheticals from my university experience ( what would happen in your previous position if X happened?) than actual firm questions. My next interview was with one of the sales leads. I got the impression he hated his job. He described the Account Executive position as "mind numbing" and "frequently dull". He could have been saying this to see how I would react and if I could overcome the constant rejection that comes from being a glorified telemarketer at Fisher, but at one point he said "Ive been working here for a long time, and based my title, compared to a lot of the people I went to school with, I dont have a lot to show for it". Lastly I interviewed with their VP of Sales, who seemed younger than the director but about 1000X more professional. He seemed more intent on closing me than vice versa again. When I told him one of previous big concerns about Fisher total assets under management ( the firms assests under management had dipped 50% during the market crash) was alleviated by the sales lead ( who claimed it had returned to near pre crash levels) he gulped and looked a little flustered. Flying out of Portland I was very certain I would get an offer, although I didnt think there was any chance in hell of me taking it. I was almost relieved when I got a callback a few days later with the "thanks but no thanks".
