I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at AllianceBernstein (Washington, DC) in Apr 2013
Interview
Interviewed with three people. Mostly about fit
Asked what i knew about the company, what I knew about financials markets and my background. Also they asked about how I can deal with clients and other issues about wealth management, finance, economics, capital markets, marketing and other various topics. I thought each person that I interviewed with really nice and very knowledgeable about their roles. I did not accept the offer, but I would recommend AB to a friend or any person looking for their services. Specifically the DC branch seems like a good group and they're definitely all going places.
