I applied through university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Portland, OR) in Dec 2018
Interview
Drawn out. Process in total took 5 months (first interview to offer). Everyone was really polite and authentic during the interviews but I went weeks without an update on my application at times. Talked to 6+ throughout the process and I was confused who my direct contact was. On-site interview was REALLY long (think 2-3 hours of non-stop questions).
first round: Phone Call with a recruiter. He asked basic questions like tell me about yourself, why do you want to work at Fisher Investments and etc. The process was smooth and clear.
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.
