Interview
Started with a phone interview, then on-site interview, then a call from a VP. The process took about 3-4 weeks. All the interview questions they asked were found on this site which is helpful. I initially applied for investment associate but then based on my credentials found out I was being considered for a higher position then originally thought. Everyone seemed professional except this one young lady who seemed like a shark. She was very cordial at the beginning of the face-to-face interview, but her personality during the interview was very sharp and direct. I don't know if that means all of FI is like that or perhaps just she is. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would recommend it for people who are serious about finance/equity markets. It is also quite clear that they are growing faster then they know how to manage--getting in at this stage in the company could set your career up in the longer run IMO.
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.
