I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Camas, WA) in Mar 2016
Interview
After receiving an employee referral and subsequently a phone screen, there were three further stages. The first was a phone interview which lasted about 30 minutes. About two weeks later I had a video interview with three different hiring managers that ended up being just over two hours long. Three weeks after that I had one more video interview with a different branch of Fisher Investments that took about an hour. Ten days later I received a call saying they would not be moving forward with my candidacy.
Each of the interviews was fairly relaxed and straight forward. The majority of the questions were resume driven with a few behavioral situation questions. Only one interviewer wanted to gauge my knowledge of the global and local markets and how well I keep up with news.

Question 1
The number one question everyone asked me was "Why Fisher Investments?".
I enjoyed the process but also no idea where it’s going. Excited to see what happens and hoping for a good result. Also I need to write 30 words I guess

Interview
Don’t apply. The only entry position is client service associate which is basically busy work nobody wants to do. They respond to your application quickly because HR is measured by success on how many interviews they do. So they literally interview knowing that they aren’t going to hire. That’s why they always have job openings listed on their website. So they can keep HR busy. The firm has no flexibility. 50 hours of busy work if you do take the job. The process consists of a phone screening then round robin with multiple teams claiming they have open positions but again they only hire CSA for new hires. Questions are all normal behavioral and really easy but hiring is really dependent on if enough people have quit recently that they need bodies.

Interview
The overall interview process was pretty lengthy. For starters, you aren’t applying for the “Investment Associate” role but rather multiple roles that the company thinks you’d fit in well with. First you meet with a recruiter, then you meet with multiple hiring managers, then a debrief with a recruiter about your experience, and then back to one of the hiring managers, and finally culminating with a Vice President or “higher-up.” All this being said, everyone was very polite and welcoming throughout the process. Interview questions were standard behavioral questions with a few random ones mixed in. Expect the whole process to take at least a month from start to finish.
