Raymond James Financial interview questions

Phone interview, lasted about 30 minutes. Typical questions for equity research - largely focusing on financial statement analysis and how they interact with one another. A good amount of time was spent on the cash flow statement. Questions about particular industries of interest and to pitch a stock. Since Raymond James has several offices, location preference was also asked.

Brief telephone conversation with the branch administrator and was invited to an interview at the office where I was advised I may meet some or all of the 4 team members that the position is supporting. Lovely office with a great view of Hotel Vancouver. I was interviewed by the branch administrator and the senior administration assistant to the team, and 3 of the 4 team members came in and out for about a 10 minute sit in. Asked your standard questions, what did you like best in your most recent position, what did you dislike the most, strengths, what I am looking for and where do I see myself in 5 years. One question that did catch me off guard was: What type of people do you work best with. After interview was finished I was promised twice I would find out by the end of the following week (interview was on a Wednesday). I was also told that their HR department would contact me to come in and do an aptitude test. Within an hour of leaving I was contacted and a meeting set up the next morning in office. At this aptitude test, I was also given an application form where I had to advise my SIN and personal info as well as sign that I was willing for a background check. I thought for sure I had the job in the bag if they were going through all that trouble but I never heard from them and ended up following up with a phone call the Monday of the next week.
