I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Edward Jones (Saint Louis, MO) in Apr 2019
Interview
A recruiter contacted me individually with a phone interview to set up an in person interview. We spoke for thirty minutes with an intense behavior-based set of questions where one of the two managers called in to listen and ask questions, and then for another twenty minutes informally about the job and what the team and expectations were like.

Question 1
When you made a mistake during a previous position that you were responsible, how did you respond? We don't need to know what the mistake was, just how you replied to it.
The interview was a comfortable setting. I didn’t feel anxious because the interviewer was very nice and her energy was welcoming. I was only asked 3 major questions and then she went over the company and expectations.
It is a long process with many interviews via zoom. They are thorough and want to make sure you are placed where they need you most. You should study to make sure you answer the questions to show you have good judgment and common sense.
