I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Had an initial phone interview with the recruiter that consisted of basic behavioral questions. Next step was an in person interview that tested your technical skills. Final step was Superday where each candidate interviewed with five analyst. After the interviews current analyst and associates took the candidates out to dinner and proceeded to get drunk. Very unprofessional. Raymond James only cares about what college you come from (target school or ivy) and could care less about your capabilities. I did not come from a target school and each interviewer asked how I make it this far in the interview process. Very snobby company and would not want to work for them.

Pitch a stock to me
Walk me through an income statement
I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Chicago, IL)
Interview
First round was with HR, second with the COO of ER, third with the senior analyst and two associates. A couple technicals in second round and stock pitch, more behavioral / fit seeking process overall.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Raymond James Financial (Tampa, FL) in Sept 2025
Interview
Flew out 12 candidates to give 2-3 offers. Treated us well but rubbed me the wrong way. Questions were entirely behavioral and vibes-based. Only had one technical question and one stock pitch.
The interview was relatively chill; I had networked with a couple of associates beforehand, and they were the ones who interviewed me in the process. First round was HR, second was associates, while third round was the head of research
