I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edward Jones (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Lengthy, take an online test first with various situational questions. Then, a phone screening by the recruiter, and finally an interview with the FA at the office. It took a week or two for them to get back to me saying I was not chosen, which I was not surprised at. It didn't feel like the right fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked several questions about what you would do in certain situations. Also asked you to give examples of ways you handled conflict resolution, etc.
Long process with many steps. First start with video interview where you are given three tries to record your response. Next was a chat with their recruiter and some online testing.
Thorough venting process before interviews begin. They hire and promote from within so it can be hard to even get an interview. It is best to have someone you know fill out a letter of recommendation on their website when applying for a job.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edward Jones in Apr 2019
Interview
Phone interview asked typical behavioral questions, 1:1 interview was unusual but FA told me it would be different in advance. Just moved to last step in interview process so don't know if I will get an offer or not.
