I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fisher Investments in Jan 2014
Interview
Had two initial screening phone calls asking the typical questions and behavioral stuff like: What do you know about Fisher? Why Fisher? Why Finance Tell me about a time you learned something quickly. What was the most difficult part of your last job?
They said I would hear back within 7 days, but it ended up being 14 or so after I emailed them checking in on my status. They said they wanted fly me out to the San Mateo office for in person interviews. They also sent me a bunch of paperwork to fill out, which I thought was the background check, but it ended up being the typical step they make you take before you are sent in person. They set me up with a hotel and rental car, as well as food and gas reimbursements. In the morning I interviewed with two heads departments. Mostly behavior questions, and since it was client focused they asked me about how i handled composure. I was also asked to describe a time I saw a flaw in some process and how I changed it. That same day, I was contacted by HR to do an official background check.
I got a phone call a week later telling me that they wanted to set me up to speak with a GVP on the phone. This conversation, she asked me what I knew about the position and why I liked Fisher. Other than that, it was me asking her questions. At the end she offered me a position, and laid out the compensation and benefit package.

I enjoyed the process but also no idea where it’s going. Excited to see what happens and hoping for a good result. Also I need to write 30 words I guess

Interview
Don’t apply. The only entry position is client service associate which is basically busy work nobody wants to do. They respond to your application quickly because HR is measured by success on how many interviews they do. So they literally interview knowing that they aren’t going to hire. That’s why they always have job openings listed on their website. So they can keep HR busy. The firm has no flexibility. 50 hours of busy work if you do take the job. The process consists of a phone screening then round robin with multiple teams claiming they have open positions but again they only hire CSA for new hires. Questions are all normal behavioral and really easy but hiring is really dependent on if enough people have quit recently that they need bodies.

Interview
The overall interview process was pretty lengthy. For starters, you aren’t applying for the “Investment Associate” role but rather multiple roles that the company thinks you’d fit in well with. First you meet with a recruiter, then you meet with multiple hiring managers, then a debrief with a recruiter about your experience, and then back to one of the hiring managers, and finally culminating with a Vice President or “higher-up.” All this being said, everyone was very polite and welcoming throughout the process. Interview questions were standard behavioral questions with a few random ones mixed in. Expect the whole process to take at least a month from start to finish.
