I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Franklin Templeton (New York, NY) in Dec 2024
Interview
It is a very competitive (only around 8 spots with 4 being in NYC), and I was also a former intern who received multiple referrals. But the interviews are mostly behavioral and want to see a genuine interest in the industry and some relevant experience (like student investment fund), as well as eagerness to learn about the whole industry (it is a rotational program). For my year, there was an emphasis on investment management. But the people are very easy to talk to, in my opinion.
I interviewed at Franklin Templeton (New York, NY)
Interview
Behavioral focused, really focused on understanding you as a person. Panel style so multiple people on at once. Definitely prepare and be ready to answer various styles of questions. Kind of a slow process that started out with a long phone call screen.
