J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Fisher Investments (San Mateo, CA) en sept. 2013
Entretien
The initial steps towards getting an interview were fairly simply. However, much of it was due to luck and position. Our career development website (my college jobs listing page) had listed an investment associate position. After some research of the company, I had found a close friend worked in a similar position in a different office. Luckily, an application on the career development website as well as an employee referral got me a interview fairly quickly (within a week). The interview process is similar to other companies of this size, a phone interview, panel interview and some others (which unfortunately I had not made it that far to say). The phone interview was straightforward, looking to understand your ambitions within the company, for yourself at the moment and for yourself 10 years out. They asked quite a few questions that focused on experiences found on resumes and personal stories, such as "what was your most proud moment in the past year?" or "Why did you choose your college? and were you happy with that decision?" Overall the interview lasted about 45 minutes. After the interviewer finished with their questions, they finish up if you have questions. Unfortunately, the interviewer happened to be very a-type, and overly self-confident in all his experiences, despite being at Fisher for a short period of time. This led to an extra 15 minutes of essentially bragging and gloating, something not particular attractive from an applicant's point of view. That was the last interaction I had with them.

Question 1
"What was your biggest regret in the past 4 years?"
Had applied for an analyst job my senior year of college, was pushed towards a machine learning focused job despite my protests. First two interviews went well but were mostly conversational. My final interview however though was brutal, featuring a live coding assessment in front of multiple team members, a case study presentation and then another hour long conversational interview.

They reached out for the interview process and I took it. I think it's pretty standard, and the recruiter is friendly—most behavioral questions. They are looking for skills that match their needs.

It was a first round interview, basic questions and just know about the company before as they will ask what you know. Other than that was all behavior from HR.
