I applied online. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at Wellington Management (Boston, MA) in Jun 2020
Interview
Met primarily portfolio managers, discussed investment ideas, process, collegial environment, etc. Three rounds of interviews over Zoom before a case study presentation. The case study was on a company they knew well and resulted in interesting discussion
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If we look forward one year and things haven't been working out, what do you think would have happened to create that situation?
Multiple rounds with various team members, manager and head. Overall more situational types of questions asked to understand what you are looking for and really to determine good fit. Some pretty standard questions
I interviewed at Wellington Management (London, England)
Interview
Seven stage interview process meeting the wider team as well as managers in my direct line. The first interview was more technical and then the latter interviews were more culture based.

Question 1
What is your experience dealing with a number of stakeholder to meet client requests
Interviewers seemed very thoughtful and intellectual, and they spoke very highly of the firm. I only made it through a couple of rounds, but heard the process would be extensive if I continued on (6+ months long).
