I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (San Jose, San Jose) in May 2024
Interview
The best so far. Since day one it's been a great combination of professionalism and holistic caring. The fact that FI team took the time to analyze the potential employee, meet the employee in person and to calibrate the final decision gave me the sense of a great value as a company and therefore great value as a potential and now current employee.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why FI, and why fiance if im a healthcare industry professional?
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.
