I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Camas, WA) in Nov 2013
Interview
Started with a phone interview (after the initial cal to set it up). Interviewer was obviously asking a standard set of questions. Mostly behavioral and experience based.
Set up an on site interview in Camas, WA. Recruiter gave me a tour of the building and set me up in my interview room. Had three separate interviews.
First was with a manager. He made me feel comfortable and at home. Asked some good questions.
Second was also a manager. She was more aggressive and had a closed off body language but was still professional.
Last was with two people. One was a manager and the other a trainer. Both were more timid/shy. However, both were knowledgable and easy to connect with.
Could not meet with VP because she was in meetings. She called a week later to formally offer the job.
I was very happy with my interview experience. Interviewers were very professional and polite. Employee encounters (with and without the recruiters) were pleasant and welcoming.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Relate your experience at past jobs to your potential role at Fisher.
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
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Camas, WA) in June 2021
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.
