The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“The interview process was very easy, mostly behavioral questions that were easy to prepare for. The interviewers were knowledgeable and answered my questions. I felt like I prepared well for the interview. They asked about what daily routines look like and what to expect when on the job.”Candidate-reported process
“I had a video interview first, then two interviews with hiring managers over Zoom. It was pretty straightforward, mostly behavioral questions. The interviews themselves were easy, but the process moved slowly in my opinion. They asked some questions about the economy and basic Wealth Management topics.”Candidate-reported process
“We started with a Hirevue where I had to give video and written answers. After that, I spoke with two hiring managers. They mostly asked behavioral questions, but we also discussed market trends and hypothetical financial advice scenarios. An offer would follow these interviews.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
