I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital Group in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied online through my university's career page and was contacted by a recruiter two weeks later asking to do a virtual interview. The virtual interview took about 30 minutes but you should definitely double check your sound system before starting the interview because even though my sound system was fine during the testing, the sound became faulty during the actual interview. Shortly after the interview, the recruiter contacted me within 3 days.

I applied online. I interviewed at Capital Group (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
Initial one way recorded interview (multiple takes allowed), then interview with HR in LA. After that interview with senior member of chosen team, then final round with 3 30 min interviews with different members of the team. Overall team were super friendly and seemed like genuinely interesting and intelligent people who weren't looking to catch you out but instead find more about you. Communication was excellent for first few rounds however was disappointed to find that following my final round it took the firm over a month of chasing to communicate the decision (no offer) which was certainly a let down given how friendly and communicative the rest of the team had been throughout the process. Nevertheless a positive experience, just a shame I couldn't stick the landing as seems like a great firm to begin your career at.
