The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Merrill in Dec 2011
Interview
Communicated initially through a past intern and emailed employer, then eventually got a 1:1 interview. Make sure that you are persistent, though not annoying.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think of the financial services industry today and why do you want to work in wealth management?
Nice, boss was easy-going. Was not intimidating. Would interview again and recommend to a friend. Friendly environment. I am glad to have worked there and consider going back in the future.
The interview was for a part-time internship position at the company. It was a pleasant experience, just general questions about academic and previous work experience. Overall I had a good interview.
There was an online application, phone interview, and two IN-person interviews. Overall, the process wasn't too bad. Most questions were personality based with one or two technicals. Recommend going through this process to anyone!
