I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at AllianceBernstein (London, England) in Oct 2019
Interview
Process started in June 2019 and concluded at the end of October 2019. 4 months, 7 different people met, 3 trips to their office, half a day of holiday booked off to attend interviews. Most dragged out process I have ever heard of... a warning to anyone considering going through the same process at AB.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at AllianceBernstein
Interview
After an exhaustive two month interview process that included several meetings and assessments, I was forced to follow up multiple times only to be told that they were "going in a different direction." Totally get if I wasn't a fit, but the fact that I had to chase them down for a reply seemed exceedingly unprofessional, disrespectful, and disorganized.
