I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ING (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2013
Interview
Pretty common financial planner/adviser entry-level position; they ask you to fill out a list of potential customers you can solicit packaged financial products to. The interview was pretty informal and unappealing as they continued to press you for how many people you would be able to bring over with you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much do you think you would be able to bring over in assets your first year?
A group interview with individual presentations and case studies took place first. In particular, the last question was useful for measuring persuasion skills and consisted in interpreting a character, real or fictional of your choice, and convincing others to do something. After a single interview with two HRs.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ING (Philadelphia, PA) in Sept 2014
Interview
Got a call to come in for an interview. Showed up and it was for an information presentation. It was me as well as 4 or 5 others and they called us in and we sat through a presentation given by the VP about the process of being an financial adviser. It was all compensation and you really need a big clientele in order to be successful.
