I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (New York, NY) in Jun 2018
Interview
The interview process was very smooth. Started with calls from the head of the office, from there you complete an assessment. I then interviewed with three members of the office management team. I then interviewed with the team that I was potentially joining. Everyone was very professional and accommodating with my current work schedule.

Question 1
What type of activities do you do currently to prospect?
Did not speak to a single person, all virtual, testing your behavior and a lot of yes or no questions. Did not appreciate there was no real person in the process.

Question 1
How would you leverage your connections to building a book of clients
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial in Jun 2024
Interview
Multiple rounds of interviews, I had three. First was a brief phone call and was easy enough. The second interview was a "one sided interview" where I had to record myself answering interview questions. The last interview was a "virtual job tryout" which consisted of me taking a short math test and other tests about what I would do in various situations. Overall the process felt extremely impersonal as I only actually spoke to one person from Raymond James in that first phone call. The interview process was negative to the extent that it also made me lose my interest in working at Raymond James altogether.
