I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments in Sept 2015
Interview
Applied online through the school job board. I received a call about a week later from a recruiter in the HR department asking me basic background questions. She scheduled a phone interview for me with a hiring manager. I ended up speaking with a different hiring manager than the one that was scheduled. The interview lasted about 45 minutes. The interviewer was extremely robotic, it sounded like she had never done a phone interview before. There was absolutely zero flow to the conversation. She had obviously not read my resume, and she probably did not have it up in front of her because she repeatedly asked about basic work experience that was clearly stated on the resume. After going over my resume, she talked about Fisher for a while going over everything that I found during my research. So, I did not have a chance to show my interest in the company. Finally, she listed three different positions that they were hiring for, and asked which I would prefer. She said I would hear back from them within a week and a half. After they were a week late on contacting me, I tried to follow-up and left a voicemail. I was finally contacted another week later to be informed that they were not going to be moving on with my application. I asked for feedback and grounds for why they had come to that decision, and she would not give any. If this is how HR treats people who have no commitment to the company, I wonder how people who are already committed are treated?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work in a team, tell me about an accomplishment you've made, tell me about your job experience.
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.
