I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Camas, WA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Went in for an interview on the 14th. I prepared a lot by anticipating what questions would be asked based off other reviews. I can say I hit 80% of the ones they asked. Go in with a smile and confidence and know your material. Research the company, and make sure you prepare questions to ask them. I did 4 interviews and everyone of them asked if I had any questions. Get their point of view of the company and ask them what they like about it. This will give you a better picture of whether you want to work for them or not. Personally everyone that I have researched and heard from the 4 ladies who interviewed me was right on point. It seems like a great place to work as far as I can tell and when I toured the building I didn't walk into a business that had a slave feeling atmosphere to it. People were smiling and working and just seem to be getting the job done. I have seen many complaints and I took them with a grain of salt. I suggest you do as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None were "difficult" to be honest. I think if you go in knowing how an interview process works and research questions that most employers ask in any given situation then you will do great.
Applied, within 24 hours got an offer to interview over the phone. Phone interview was positive and was told I’d be recommended for a video interview. 3 days later, got a boilerplate rejection email. The kind that says, “after careful consideration” you know the one. The one that feigns consideration as corporate insulation from the applicants. If you want to still apply for a company that says, verbatim per the email,
“We understand you may want additional information about our decision. However, as a company policy, we do not provide feedback”, then you are entitled to your own pain and suffering.
Phone Interview, behaviour questions and availability. Asked about previous work experiences. Spoke for about 30 mins. Recruiter was new. The conversation was not flowing. Hence I was hesitant with my answers. But it was not very difficult.
Good experience with their recruiters. They are very nice and professional, and HR shares lots of helpful information and positive insights. They also have a very systematic, clear, and well-organized interview schedule.
