I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AllianceBernstein (Washington, DC) in Sep 2019
Interview
I had been introduced to one of their MDs a while back, conversed with that person, and eventually applied to an associate position. The person who was leaving that position interviewed me on the phone. The interview went well, however, I never got any feedback one way or the other about going to the next step, despite having followed up with the original MD. The lack of response has the stench of ageism (hard to prove, of course) because of the question I cite herein.
Very great experience thus far, began with a hirevue, then a one on one zoom interview that mainly asked technical questions, then an in person interview with three associates and a managing director.

Question 1
Why AB, Why not other firms, tell me about an experience where you failed, what drives you to being an associate, why private wealth management.
Both behavioral and technical questions were asked. Not very hard. Interviewers are friendly. Zoom interview one on one. With hiring manager and the team. Overall it is a pretty good interview experience.
You have to complete the online interview first. Four questions and three attempts each. Good thing is you can prepare as long as you need for each question.why fit this role; client experiences; define success for yourself; failure&lesson learned
