Average interview

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Franklin Templeton (San Mateo, CA) in Feb 2015

Interview

I don't think I had a screening call, but rather talked to the hiring manager for my first call. At the end, they let me know that I made a positive impression and that they'll fly me out to the San Mateo HQ for my onsite. Onsite involved a panel interview, which is universally regarded as poor interview practice by organizational researchers.

I interviewed at Franklin Templeton

Interview

Predominantly behavioral, with writing exercise. Met with senior managers then went to lunch with senior analyst team. Key was my academic background and interest in financial markets. And in retrospect the fit within the team at the time.
