I applied online. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (San Mateo, CA)
Interview
The interview is fairly easy. I applied through LinkedIn and the recruiter reached out couple days after. Whole interview process consist of 3 parts: phone screening, video interview with hiring manager and onsite interview with the VP. All the interview questions are behavioral. They are mainly looking at culture fit and the willingness to learn.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Fisher Investments?
Tell me a time when you failed?
Tell me a time when you go above and beyond for a client?
Give me a time when you are innovative?
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments
Interview
In the phone interview they just read behavioral questions straight off of a piece of paper. At the end the recruiter finally showed some emotion in their voice when they said “wait did I tell you about the company” and then proceeded to read a 5 minute sales pitch, again straight from a piece of paper.
For a second I thought I may be in the wrong interview, as I was looking for a job not to become a client.
While researching the company, it was evident that they employ an insane amount of talent acquisition and recruiting people, and am now trying to figure out if it is somehow part of a strategy to build business and increase brand name.
