I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Bethesda, MD) in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview process at AXA was very straightforward. The first step was a simple phone screen where it was mostly behavioral questions. Next was an in person to meet with the manager and they began to ask a few specific questions about the company and why one would want to become an advisor as well as describe the position. The next interview was with a financial advisor who was recently hired and we were able to ask them questions about the position and how they got to where they are now. After that the manager sent a questionnaire out to answer and if that was completed to their liking an offer was the next step. The overall experience was enjoyable and everyone at the office made you feel welcomed and as if you were already a member of the team. Staff was knowledgable and friendly as well but the office environment was a bit dull and not much excitement.
The interview process had several rounds, one that was a panel in front of an MD, and a few with a specific hiring Manager. It was swift, kind, and to the point. The communication throughout the process was excellent.
I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (New York, NY)
Interview
Quick process, show you're hungry and they'll give you a shot. Had one zoom, one in person meeting, and then a compensation breakdown. Nothing guaranteed, up to you to make money. Good for someone self motivated and will bet on themselves.

Online video interview that was vague on job duties. Interview length was fast and convincing I was a good fit but there was no follow up. Company will ghost you.
