I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Phoenix, AZ) in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied for a Broker Trainee Position that would require me to relocate to Phoenix. The entire process was quite long and lacked communication on their part. I have had the series 7 before and was sure I could pass it again. The first phone interview was 5 minutes and then I would interview with a recruiter and I was asked if I would be able to relocate by Oct 17 if offered the job. I said yes. This was early September. I then went to a local branch and took an assessment test. I passed. After not hearing anything for a week I emailed to get a status. Talent person said she would emai the recruiter. It's about a month at this point and I'm wondering if I was supposed to be there oct 17 its getting late. Finally I get an email saying oct 17 I will have the last interview with 2 hiring managers via the phone. They say I'll get an answer in a few days. 5 days later I get an email that looks to be computer generated saying thanks but no thanks at this time. About 2 weeks before this I was deciding if I was offered the job would I take it? It would have been nice to have the process be a little more organized with more specific timelines especially when relocation was involved. I know its harder via the phone but thats common now. As for the interview its the standard behavior questions "describe when you went above and beyond the call of duty".

I applied online. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Lone Tree, CO) in Dec 2017
Interview
I applied for relationship specialist, got invited for a phone. during the phone interview, my recruiter referred me for the broker trainee position(financial consultant professional) she said I was a better fit for that position. The interview went well and I was invited for a second face to face interview the following week. On getting there I realized it was sort of a group interview. all the hiring managers were in the room with us(about 15 applicants) they talked about the job requirements, what to expect if we got hire; they also talked briefly about benefits. after that they divided us into 2groups. first group went on a tour while 2nd group(my group) went for the interview. some people were interviewed by two managers ; I was interviewed by one manager . during the interview; the one thing he stressed on was passing of the series 7&63. the interview was about 1hour in total.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Austin, TX)
Interview
I had an employee referral opportunity, One phone interview asking basic questions such as, Customer Service and Scenario based questions. After that was the in person interview with two hiring managers that ask questions about your knowledge of the company trying to gage your enthusiasm. Be sure to look up exam based material, such as Questions, Time of Test, Etc... It was about a 2 hour interview asking questions about customer service examples and providing them with detailed descriptions of those examples( helps if you want to show your interest) I received an offer a couple hours after the interview and now going through a vigorous background check, UA drug test through third party company. I really enjoyed the staff and hiring managers, They were very hospitable and allowed me to bring thought upon my questions. High recommended employer!
