I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Camas, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
first, you arrange a phone interview with a recruiter who will ask basic questions about you and what you know about the company. If the first interview goes well you will have either another phone interview with a department manager or you will have an in person interview. I received my in person interview after two phone interviews. The in person interview was on Fisher's campus and included a brief tour. After the tour you wait in a small office to interview with department managers who are interested in meeting with you. I met with two individuals and spoke with them for roughly 30 minutes each. After a little over a week I was contacted regarding the interview and the managers decisions based off of speaking with me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
describe a situation in which you completely failed and why you feel you failed?
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.
