I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Fisher Investments in Dec 2018
Interview
They take you on a tour showing you the office, describing Fisher's team and operations. After the 15 minute tour you interview with one Team member (my interviewer was apart of the technology operations to increase efficiency). 30-45 minutes spent actually asking you questions - the basics, your story, experience, successes, and failures. And lastly the remaining 15 minutes talking about the position. My experience was great overall, my interviewer was very personable. The only con I have about the process is that I interviewed in late December, have filled out online information immediately after, but have yet to hear back after reaching out. I received an email saying to be patient during the holiday season, but from other reviews this is to be expected and I'm perhaps being impatient.

Question 1
Name a time you experienced failure and what you learned?
first round: Phone Call with a recruiter. He asked basic questions like tell me about yourself, why do you want to work at Fisher Investments and etc. The process was smooth and clear.
Applied, within 24 hours got an offer to interview over the phone. Phone interview was positive and was told I’d be recommended for a video interview. 3 days later, got a boilerplate rejection email. The kind that says, “after careful consideration” you know the one. The one that feigns consideration as corporate insulation from the applicants. If you want to still apply for a company that says, verbatim per the email,
“We understand you may want additional information about our decision. However, as a company policy, we do not provide feedback”, then you are entitled to your own pain and suffering.
Phone Interview, behaviour questions and availability. Asked about previous work experiences. Spoke for about 30 mins. Recruiter was new. The conversation was not flowing. Hence I was hesitant with my answers. But it was not very difficult.
